Linux or Windows


 This has been a very strong debate among computer users, while the geek guys argues that Linux is the future of computing, those who are not so much technical savvy say the Windows is and this has left some people in an infinite loop, trying to figure out which is better for them. Windows is a very popular operating system and it is user friendly. In fact in my country (Nigeria), when you talk about Desktop computers, you are referring to Windows operating systems. Yeah, that’s how popular the Windows operating system is.
But Linux seems to be more preferable by geeks who have tested both worlds. Ask for reason, you will get answers like:
  • ·         Linux is stable
  • ·         Linux is free
  • ·         Linux  is open source
  • ·         Linux is not very sensitive to virus
  • ·         Linux runs on 99% of the super computers there is.
  • ·         Linux runs on mobile and embedded systems (Android, etc)
  • ·         Linux skills is valuable
  • ·         Linux gives you a breathing space to tweak and configure your system the way you want.


Now ask for reason why they would like to leave the Windows operating system, you will get answers like:
  • ·         Windows is close source
  • ·         Windows is not free (you have to pay or be a fugitive by running the pirated versions)
  • ·         Windows crashes a lot (Unstable).
  • ·         Windows is vulnerable and very sensitive to virus.
  • ·         Windows programs are expensive
  • Also ask for reason why they are still keeping a copy of Windows, you get this from developers:
  • ·         Windows have many users. This means that millions of users will run my programs when they are ready.
  • ·         Windows is going to make me rich.

And this, you get from normal users:
  • ·         Windows has much software such as games, business programs, graphics software, etc.

Finally ask why they might never get into Linux, you get the following:
  • ·         Linux is for hackers
  • ·         Linux is hard to use
  • ·         I’m scared of command line
  • ·         Linux is for bad guys
  • ·         Linux lack games
  • ·         Linux is hard to install
  • ·         Linux requires high technical know-how to operate, maintain and use.
  • ·         Linux is for poor people who can’t afford Windows or Mac (Shut up!).

Well, I still keep my copy of Windows while running Linux Slackware as my main OS, because no Linux job in my country (at least none that I have seen) and if I don’t hold on to Windows, I might starve.

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

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
