This document discusses operating systems and provides information about Linux and the Fedora distribution. It defines an operating system as system software that manages computer hardware and software resources. It then lists some common operating systems like Windows and Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kali Linux. The document goes on to provide reasons why Linux may be preferred over Windows, such as being more secure, better supporting programming, having more frequent updates, allowing for greater customization, and being free to use. It then discusses specific features and advantages of the Fedora Linux distribution, such as its six month release cycle and sponsorship by Red Hat.

3. What is Operating System?
A system software that manages the computer
Hardware and software resources. Do nothing by themselves
Until they are provoked by the programs

4. Some Operating system
Windows
(XP, 7, 8,8.1,10,…….)
Linux
(Ubuntu, fedora, Linux mint, Kali Linux,…..)

5. Why Prefer Linux over Windows

6. More Secure:
Windows OS is vulnerable to different types of
hacks and attacks. When you have windows installed you have to
purchase or download Antivirus software but Linux does not require
the use of such Antivirus programs.
Perfect for Programmers:
Linux supports almost all the programming languages
like python, java, ruby.
The ability of bash scripting is also one of the most
compelling reasons why programmers use LINUX OS.

7. Software Updates:
Windows pushes a software updates when it
receives a set of problems or only if something major needs to be
fixed.
With LINUX you will notice more updates to fix the problems you
might be facing very fastly.
Customization:
One major advantage of using LINUX instead of
Windows is Customization and have tons of beautiful icon themes.

8. Free to Use:
If something is free but useful, it is always the
best thing one could expect.
Better Community Support:
Linux users are always ready to respond to a
relevant threat. The number of community users active on LINUX
forum is more than the active members on any Windows focused
forum.

9. Reliability:
You have to re-install Windows after a while when you
encounter crashes or slow down your system.
Similarly
• If you just installed software, reboot!
• If you un installed software, reboot!
• If you installed a windows update, reboot!
• If the system seems to slow down, reboot!
But if you are using LINUX you will not have to worry about re
installing again and again. It is a faster and smooth system

10. LINUX-Base Operating System which I am
using is:
