Windows vs Linux, Which one is better...

Windows vs Linux :

First of all, Linux is not an OS. It is a system Kernel. A Kernel is a set of code or rules which acts as the bridge between the OS and the Hardware. Although it is very common to call any Linux-based operating system as 'Linux'. GNU/Linux is the operating system that combines the Linux kernel and GNU software.
So it's an interesting topic to compare these two OS, let's start with...

Speed and Optimization :

Talking about speed. Linux is pretty light weighted and is pretty fast compared to Windows…Windows do offer speed. But, compare it to any Linux based OS, Windows always loses.

Application Software :

The 1st aim of every Application Developer is to create the software which is Compatible with Windows. Reason? Windows has a large base of users compared to Linux. You can find many Applications for Windows than in Linux. Linux does have some great tools, But they are less efficient when compared to Windows apps. 

Network management :

Linux has an edge over Windows in this. No doubt Why the Supercomputers use Linux based OS.

Security :

Linux is far ahead in Windows in term of security. Linux based OS receive regular Kernel security updates. Linux is hardly penetratable using Malware and Virus.

Software cost :

Many of the available software programs, utilities, and games available on Linux are free and open source. Even complex applications such as GIMPOpen Office, and Star Office are available for free.
Although there are many free Windows programs, utilities, and games, the majority of the programs are commercial.

Hardware :

Linux struggled to support new hardware. Manufacturers often considered Linux support a secondary concern (if they considered supporting it at all). Furthermore, device drivers for Linux were created only by enthusiasts who devoted their own time and resources to making Linux compatible with new hardware. Since then, the Linux user base has grown exponentially. Today, the majority of hardware manufacturers give Linux support the same priority as Microsoft Windows.
Windows has a massive user base so it would be madness for a consumer hardware manufacturer not to support Windows. As a Windows user, you can rest assured that your operating system is compatible with any hardware you might buy.

Moreover, Windows is used for people who are interested in Analytics, Normal Usage, Graphics.
But Linux is used for Coding, Software development, and Network testing.
