Linux has several key advantages over other operating systems. It is open-source, so anyone can modify and distribute the code. It also provides high stability and does not require frequent reboots. Linux is more secure as it requires administrator authorization for programs to execute. It also has a large user community that provides support forums.
2. One of the main advantages of Linux is that it is
an open-source operating system i.e. its source
code is easily available to everyone. Anyone
capable of coding can contribute, modify, enhance
and distribute the code to anyone and for any
purpose

3. STABILITY
Linux also provides high stability; this is a good
advantage, i.e. it does not need to be rebooted after
a short period. Your Linux system rarely slows down
or freezes. As in Windows, you need to reboot your
system after installing or uninstalling an application
or updating your software, but this is not the case
with Linux. You can work without any disturbance on
your Linux systems

4. SECURITY
Linux is more secure than other operating
systems, such as Windows . Every program in
Linux, whether an application or a virus, needs
authorization from the administrator in the form of
a password. Unless the password is typed, the
virus won’t execute. There is no requirement for
any anti-virus program in Linux.

5. Forums by excited users are made on the web to
help and solve the problem any other user is
facing. There are a lot of dedicated programmers
there to help you out whenever and wherever
possible.

6. Linux is a multitasking operating system as it can
perform many tasks simultaneously without
decreasing speed, such as downloading a large file
would not slow down the system.
Linux provides various desktop environments to
make it easy to use. While installing Linux, you can
choose any desktop environment according to your
wishes, such as KDE (K Desktop Environment)

7. Linux ensures the privacy of users’ data as it never
collects much data from the user while using its
distributions or software. However, this is not true
for many other operating systems

8. Linux provides a high range of flexibility as you can
install only the required components. There is no
need to install a complete suite. You can also keep
Linux files under multiple partitions, so there is no
major loss if one corrupts. You only need to repair
that particular partition, not the complete file, which is
not the case with other operating systems.
