Tech professionals have long chosen Linux for their servers and computers due to its security.
Although security often comes down to end-user training regardless of OS, there are some things that make Linux systems more secure than other environments.
This is especially true when it comes to malicious software.
Why is Linux better than other OS?
Let’s face it; Windows OS is vulnerable to different types of attacks (or hacks). However, Linux is not as vulnerable as Windows. It sure isn’t invulnerable, but it is a lot more secure. It is just the way Linux works that makes it a secure operating system.
Is Linux really more secure than Windows?
Linux isn’t really more secure than Windows. It’s really more a matter of scope than anything. No operating system is more secure than any other, the difference is in the number of attacks and scope of attacks. As a point you should look at the number of viruses for Linux and for Windows.
