I have spent way too much time on comparing the different methods of installing programs in the various operating systems. It is only natural though because it is the most important part of using an operating system and it seems to be the most confusing part of running an operating system to those who may not be familiar with it.

Each computer system may have a malware or viruses, including Linux. Fortunately, there are only a few viruses which can affect Linux, but users are usually not installing antivirus software but later on they pray that their OS is not endangered. Linux Viruses. Linux Tip MORE

In my mind, Linux is the ultimate operating system. Other people will, of course, think differently, however, Linux is the operating system I have chosen to use and I have used it for many, many years. Lots of people have chosen Linux same as lots of people have chosen different operating systems. Even within the Linux technosphere, there are also people who have chosen this MORE

Previously I said that the most popular reason people say that they choose Linux is because it is free as in beer. It is not, however, the only reason people choose Linux. Some people choose Linux because it is not a proprietary operating system. Well, it seems that I have more to say on this subject than I thought I would. This is not a financial decision but more like a MORE

I began by looking at the mobile operating system landscape, showing the forecasts recently made by Gartner, as below. I would not make the same forecasts for a number of reasons, however Gartner’s figures are a reasonable stab at what mobile operating system shares might be. MORE

Linux is everywhere! Heck you are probably holding Linux in your had right now. It doesn’t matter if you like or use other operating systems you are still most probably, almost definitely, using Linux. It is even in places you may not even realise. How could that be MORE

In the previous chicken scratchings, I wrote about the basic reasoning behind the Linux operating systems directories. I covered all the important ones, at least the basic ones for a very minimal but working operating system. You may or may not know but Linux, like its Unix counterpart is designedThere is one directory I purposely omitted because it has a special reason. MORE

When I can’t do what I want via the GUI, my first instinct is to go to the command line and what’s Linux if I can’t just use the command line? Setting up my system was then as easy as: Sudo snap install slack --classic. Linux linux ubuntuDay One- I already cheated. MORE

If you are not familiar with the file organisation of a Linux distribution it may be pretty confusing at first. It seems to be much more complicated than what other operating systems appear to be. There is no directory which is named after the operating system. There is no “C:” drive. Instead there MORE

Linux has become the foundation for infrastructure everywhere as it defined application portability from the desktop to the phone and from to the data center to the cloud. As applications become increasingly distributed in nature, the Docker platform serves as the cornerstone of Linux’s evolution solidifying the dominance of Linux today and into tomorrow. The Future of the Operating System. What is an Operating System ? Docker + Linux. MORE

What many people don’t realise is that Linux has a long pedigree. Longer than any other operating system in common use today. Longer than Windows, longer than DOS and longer than Apple (although the MacOS does have the same pedigree as Linux). Linux is based on the Unix operating system which started MORE

In my mind, Linux is the ultimate operating system.

You may think this is going to be another rant on Linux being so good because it is open source and free and Linus Torvalds is god and this and that but it is not going to be like that. Instead of focusing on the philosophical side of things I am going to focus on the operating system itself. As you may know, Linux is modelled after the Unix operating system. MORE

Previously I started explaining how the Linux based operating system is modelled after the Unix operating system and how it is very simply organised and compartmentalised. It seems very different to other operating systems but it does have very logical reasons for this. The primary reason I believe is compartmentalisation (that is probably the longest word I have ever written MORE

On 25 August 1991, Linus Torvalds released the Linux kernel. We look at how the open source operating system has evolved in the last quarter of a century MORE

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a memory-protection process for operating systems that guards against buffer-overflow attacks. It helps to ensure that the memory addresses associated with running processes on systems are not predictable, thus flaws or vulnerabilities associated with these processes will be more difficult to exploit. ASLR is used today on Linux, Windows, and MacOS systems. It was first implemented on Linux in 2005. MORE

In this series about whether Linux is hard to use or not I previously discussed the method needed to install programs in the windows operating system. To be truthful I do find installing and removing programs in the Apple ecosystem to be simpler than with the windows operating system. This time I will discuss the macos. For a start, there is the famed Apple app store which MORE

The idea started running around in my head that most people, even those who just use Linux distributions without looking under the hood so to speak, will not know exactly what run levels are. Run levels are not unique to Linux and other unix type operating systems. The windows operating system has always had two run levels althoughIn the previous article I mentioned run levels. MORE

I mentioned in the previous ramblings before about a special file called initram or similar which supports the Linux kernel and is a small operating system in itself. In the earlier days of Linux when the kernel was much simpler and the hardware it ran on was very limited this initram file was not needed. MORE

The most common complaint I am informed about regarding Linux is that it is hard to use. So I am going to compare some common tasks between Linux, windows and macos to see if Linux is really that hard to use. I will base these comparisons on a fresh install of the operating system as it comes out of the box so to speak. Personally, I find this complaint very puzzling. MORE
