Windows vs MacOs vs Linux

Most computer users would know or have heard about the 3 following operating systems; Windows, MacOs, and Linux. This happens because these operating system are three most popular operating system today. These information system have some advantages and disadvantages of each.
Here I will discuss one by one about the advantages and disadvantages of each.

1. Windows

Windows is an operating system that is most widely used today. Windows is an operating system from microsoft.

the advantages of  windows are:

• More familiar display, friendly and easy to use. most people are using windows so they think that windows are very easy to use because they have become accustomed.
• Many applications and games compatible with this operating system. Many games and applications that can not run on other operating systems can run on Windows. This can happen because many Windows-based games released.
• The installation is easy and consume less time
• Many hardware is compatible with windows

Beside that, windows has some disadvantages too. there are:

• This operating system can not be obtained free of charge but must be purchased and the price is not cheap. This causes a lot of information systems pirated outstanding at a price much cheaper.
• In addition to the most widely used os, windows are also the most heavily attacked by hackers and     crackers. It is also very susceptible to the virus.
• Many important data are not 100% protected as vulnerable to attack as well as viruses.

 2. Mac Os

In addition to the windows, one of the three most popular os is Mac )s. Mac Os itself is an acronym for Macintosh Os and output of apple. mac os has some advantages.

Here are the advantages of Mac Os

• Multitasking, which can run multiple applications together at the same time.
• More stable, rarely broken, not susceptible to the virus and not easily hijacked.
• Brighter display, clear and glossy so it is great for graphic design / multimedia.
• Mac Os has sherlock, a program that serves to locate the files on the internet.

But in addition to these advantages, mac os also has same disadvantages, there are:

• The price is relatively more expensive than the windows and no pirated programs
• Is not very suitable for gamers because most games are Windows-based games.
• Mac os More suitable only for the designers.
• Software on Mac Os not too much and complete as in windows.

 3. LINUX

The third most popular operating system is Linux. As windows and mac os, linux also has some advantages and disadvantages. This operation sisem be famous because it is an open source operating system so anyone can develop it freely. Just like windows and mac, linux also has some advantages and disadvantages.

Those advantages include:

• Free software and open source, where anyone can get it and may develop it freely.
• Superior in security, because Linux uses a multi user system, where if one of the users affected by the virus, the virus will not spread to the other user.
• There are various options on Linux such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, CentOS, RedHat, openSUSE, Mandriva, and so on.
• More stable than windows.

Besides advantages, disadvantages Linux are :

• Many users are difficult to use linux because not familiar with Linux, but familiar with Windows.
• Linux don't have application as much as in windows and not too complete.
• The user interface is less attractive
• The installation process is more complicated and not as easy as windows.

After knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the three operating systems, according to me as a student of informatics, as a layman and love to play games, the most suitable operating system for me is windows because although it is more susceptible to viruses and attacked, the windows have more useful application for anyone and so many windows-based gaming options. Almost all PC games can run on Windows. Mac os and linux is not too relevant to me because applications and games available in this two os is not too much and not too complete. Mac Os also more suitable only for the designers.
