COMPARISON OF OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS WINDOWS AND LINUX

Operativni sustavi predstavljaju skup programa koji pokreću računalno sklopovlje u skladnu cjelinu. Svaki korisnik bi trebao odabrati operativni sustav sukladno svojim potrebama i zahtjevima. Odabir svakako nije lagan, stoga je napravljeno empirijsko istraživanje u svrhu usporedbe najpopularnijih operativnih sustava, a to su operativni sustav Windows i Linux. Kroz komparaciju sustava utvrđene su prednosti i nedostaci svakog sustava kako bi izbor optimalnog sustava može biti što lakši. S obzirom na trendove razvoja i informatičke tendencije u razvoju, budućnost i mogućnosti razvoja operativnih sustava je vrlo neizvjesna, a ponajviše ovisi o željama i preferencijama samih korisnika.Operating systems represent a set of programs that drive the computer's hardware into a coherent whole. Each user should choose an operating system in accordance with their needs and requirements. The selection certainly isn’t simple, therefor this empirical research is made to compare the most popular operating systems, and those are operating system Windows and Linux. Through the comparison of the system, the advantages and disadvantages of each system were determined to make the choice of the optimal system easier. Considering the trends of development and IT tendencies in the future, makes development of operational systems very uncertain which mostly depends on the wishes and preferences of the users
