Why Linux?

I am not really an Operating System expert so I can't just tell you the reason why you should use Linux OS instead of Windows. I have come to realize that there are two Operating Systems I can't do without, these are Linux and Windows. Sometimes, I want to choose one out of these two Operating Systems and I often find that there is a feature present in one which is not in the other.
I have been a Windows user all my computer life, now one would ask why Linux?. In Windows, there are things I'd want to do that are not allowed or not available and as a Windows user, you are always a prey to Linux users. Windows is a great OS for me because I do all my programming tasks on it and there are many good software development tools available for Windows, in addition, it has the largest user base, as a developer that means I have more people to run my programs as soon as they are developed.
Linux is an Open Source Operating System for everybody, but people seem to shy away from it because they believe the OS is only for people with big brains. I run Kali Linux on my PC (one I use for flexing not for work, though the OS's designed for serious work), I have found that the OS is more stable than any Windows OS I have used. Apart from being stable and a good tool for hacking, the OS is superb at multi-tasking with virtual desktop, meaning that you can be doing millions of things at once. I am sure if I do this in my 2GB RAM Windows 7 System, there would be a lot of hanging.
This OS is what computer geeks should be using on their personal Machines. Mere using it will show you many things you didn't know about computers and Operating Systems. If you are ever looking forward to inventing something very powerful, Linux is your best bet; Microsoft will not allow you tamper with Windows source code.
Did you know android was built with Linux Kernel and therefore is a distro of Linux? Learning and using Linux will not take your Windows skills away, it will in fact let you see computers for what they are. Run a distro that suites your need today as your second system.
Disclaimer: I wrote this post based on my experience in the two  Operating Systems. Therefore, the thought behind this post is that of mine and nobody's.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

This article is for hackers who want to develop a c++ program on Kali Linux without having to install any additional software. While some would tell you that you need to install an additional software or a compiler in order to develop a simple program in c++ on Kali Linux, I am going to show you how to develop a c++ program on this distro right out of box. Your Linux Kali comes pre-installed with a c++ compiler called g++ so we are going to write a C++ hello word code and compile it with this compiler. Before we get started, first open up terminal and run to verify if this compiler is installed on you machine: g++ -v if the compiler is pre-installed, you should get the version information of the compiler, otherwise, you should get an error. Now let's jump right in. In your terminal window, type in: nano MyCpp.cpp to create a c++ file and lunch it in nano editor for editing. When nano opens, type in the following c++ code and press Ctrl+x then y and then R

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made. Usually, these companies sends ou

How to execute eject command on an ATM Machine using CoreXfs lib on .NET

 In this tutorial, I'm going to demonstrate how to run an eject command on an ATM using CoreXfs, a library I developed.  You can download the library from  here  and follow up with tutorial. First we need to add reference to the downloaded dll. Screen One Once the reference to the dll has been added, you can proceed to coding the application. What I did in the screen below is very simple, I opened the device on the atm using it's logical name so that I can pass in commands. Screen Two So, that's it. thanks for dropping by. You can watch the video below to see how I coded it. Note that this code can only run on an ATM machine. NCR, WINCOR, DIEBOLD, HYOSUNG
