Linux often faces misunderstandings from the public. Many PC users consider vulnerabilities as errors, in fact, giving the operating system some certain advantages. Information port Howtogek.com speak Linux explains the specific shades and the reason why they are beneficial.
Allocate
Linux begins to confuse many users even before installing, because you need to choose a distribution of hundreds of options. Some of them provide different work tables or files and one person who needs to understand the difference between official archives, third storage and ready solutions.
But this is one of the main advantages of Linux – the abundance of options will allow people to find distribution for their needs and not pay for it. No one will force users to install something specific or impose by the copyright holder: you can accurately configure the system as usual.
The learning process is difficult, but powerful tools
Perhaps most people know that Linux is not Windows, not macOS, and the new operating system will take some time to train. However, not everyone understands that the difference between them is affected not only by the hot keys or the names of the folders. Linux is a different system of basic and to understand how it works, you need to make no less effort compared to the development of Windows or MacOS.
The good news is that, has passed the entry threshold, newcomers to Linux will have access to strong enough tools. In addition, no one has a force immediately remember all the trifle of the distribution selected – you can gradually study, solve problems when they arrive. There is no short way or tricks here, but you may be in a hurry.
Applications are not familiar, but a big choice of open source programs
Another obstacle to the beginning is the absence of familiar applications, especially if the user's job depends on Microsoft Office or Adobe applications. Both and others do not support Linux.
But this does not mean that Linux has no tools for creative or office work. LibreOffice is suitable for processing documents, gump and krita – to edit and draw digital. And Davinci Resolve offers a professional tool storage to install videos with the native assistance of Linux, and it is almost no less than Adobe Premiere Pro.
The reason why many people do not know about the options to replace open sources for popular programs, not that they are bad-they just do not spend money on large advertising campaigns. In fact, most free applications are based on good community reviews.
There is no official technical support, but there are positive communities
Unlike Windows or MacOS, Linux distributions do not have official technical support groups. Call a hotline or write online chat, if there is any problem, no one will. But the community and forums full of volunteers are always ready to help.
The advantage of the forums is that, unlike technical support, they act as a place to communicate with users with experience in many years of experience, sincere people who want to help. They will definitely give advice or conduct diagnosis, and the lack of business control ensures that the decision will not be applied to the top.
