    Windows 11 may be the king of operating systems

    In what world? I’ve just started using it at work, and I swear the other day it tried to sell me an XBox controller. Not like I was on the Web and an ad popped up, no. It was part of the operating system!

    Can you imagine going back in time 10 years and telling somebody “In the future, Microsoft is going to put pop-up ads in Windows.” People would think you were crazy!

      I’ve been hearing this debate for nearly 32 years. It’s a useless argument.

      The correct name for the # symbol is “octothorpe,” but how many people do you know who call it that? You’ll either hear it called the Pound sign (by us older folk) or the more modern Hash mark.

      The fact is, Linux is both a kernel AND an OS.

      Programming doesn’t even need a computer, in a sense. It’s done on your mind and all you have to do is implement the idea.

      OS does matter if you want a better environment for coding.

          You can adapt to it, but that will never be a truly “good” experience.

              Windows crashes very frequently and the error is not easy to debug most of the time. You may need to restart the computer ( and you will get used to it ). Plus, Microsoft support forum sucks and takes a long time to answer just one question. It obviously isn’t a good environment for coding.

              Linux, on the other hand, is far easier to debug and Linux professionals can help you with that.

              Most of the open-sourced softwares are Linux compatible, so that will be very helpful for coding.
