However here lies the similarities of both theoperating system and both the system have developed both the command line procedures and thegraphical user interfaces as well. Thirdly, Linux is an open sources operating system and hence the operating system can be editedand discussed in various type of community support forums and the new developments for thesystem can be developed from these forums and also the system would be much more efficient,but the windows operating system is provide a support forum where the users post their queriesand the support from the company provide the users with the solutions for the problems faced.Lastly, it should be noted that although some backend network processes use Linux butWindows is a preferable system among the general users.
