Does Linux work?
I have friends who still seem to remember Linux as a black command line interface. When I tell him or suggest that he use Linux, he looks surprised and asks me, how does that work (for development or daily use)?
Linux has a graphical interface
desktop
starter
File manager
Set up the
This is deepin, the “domestic” operating system I have been using for nearly two years. I don’t know if the interface is beautiful or not. I am sure it can be used.

Support daily development
First of all Vim/Emacs says they can handle it, but I don’t think I’m familiar with them. .
Java : Eclipse , IDEA , NetBeans , Android Studio …
Python : PyCharm , WingIDE …
C++ : KDevelop , Code Blocks …
Php : PhpStorm …
Front-end: Sublime, VS Code, WebStorm…
.
In no particular order
Social communication is fine
There’s ICQ…
For the sake of time, the deepin store screenshots are used here. Other Linux distributions may not be as rich, but it should be ok to install QQ and wechat
Can Linux replace Windows?
Here are the software I use daily:
Development: the IDEA of
Databases: DBeaver, Navicat, PL/SQL
Communication: TIM, wechat
Browser: Google, Firefox, 360
Office: WPS, Microsoft Office Web edition
Music: netease Cloud Music
Input method: Sogou input method
Deepin player: VLC
Editor: Sublime Text
Remote control: TeamViewer, Sunflower, VNC, Remmina
Download: Thunderbolt Speed version, Aria2
Network disk: Nut cloud, Baidu network disk
MarkDown editor: Typora, Zettlr
Terminal: Deepin built-in (very useful)
Mind Mapping: XMind ZEN
FTP: FileZilla
PDF: Foxy Reader
Vm: VirtualBox, vmware
Games: Steam, Minecraft
The Android APP: xDroid
These are just my personal daily use, there are many excellent software not listed.
As for the replacement of Windows, the question varies from person to person. As far as I am concerned, in my two years of experience, I have never encountered a problem that cannot be solved under Linux and has to go back to Windows.
And, if you have to, there are virtual machines.

Running Android applications on Linux
XDroid enables Android applications to run on Linux, greatly expanding the Linux ecosystem.
Yes, you read that right, it’s not virtual machine or emulator-based, it’s fast, it’s cheap.
That seems impossible with Windows right now.

What are the advantages of Linux?
The cost of moving from one system to another is huge. Is there anything compelling about Linux that makes it worth it? Do not understand you can pay attention to the public number Java technology stack, search for Linux command daquan commonly used.
Linux is elegant
When I install a software on Windows, you first need to open a browser, search software, you want carefully to avoid advertising, when you find a website, seems to have to carefully find download address, rather than a huge download button, and then a little cautious installation, must not be missed some hook, If you miss it, you’ll notice that your computer seems to be stuttering, and soon its friends will appear on your desktop.
On Linux, a command like apt Install or yum install will do the job.
Linux doesn’t have to choose whether to put the software on drive C or drive D, it already defines which files go where,
You don’t need anti-virus software,
You don’t have to clean up your trash,
I don’t need to free up memory,
You don’t need to activate the system, it’s open source and free,
There is no need for disk optimization,
No annoying popovers,
There are no mandatory updates.
Linux is efficient
This is what appeals to me most about Linux
The command line
The command line is not a backward way to manipulate a computer. Instead, it has been efficient and expressive. Common Linux commands that Java programmers must master are recommended in this article.
When you want to copy, cut, or delete a file, I’m sure there’s no faster command to open file manager and jump between Windows.
When you want to see the status of the system, I believe moving the mouse, right clicking, and selecting Task Manager is no faster command.
When you want to write a simple script or file, I believe that opening the editor, creating a new file, writing, and selecting the file location to save is no faster command.
.
The mouse is a great tool, but it has its limitations. After all, it only has three buttons. The expressive power of using arguments on the command line is infinite.
Reduce mouse use
From the command line, the browser’s Vimium plugin (operates the browser interface in a similar way to Vim), Albert (opens app, file, URL, direct search, calculator… System shortcuts combined with IDEA (which is designed with keyboard first in mind) I was able to use the mouse very little.
It’s not a hot mouse, of course. It’s much faster to use the keyboard than to move your right hand to the mouse and back, and it’s an uninterrupted experience.
As to why this is an advantage of Linux, in my experience with Windows over the years, I have found no entry point for custom system shortcuts, let alone custom macros. Windows has a command line, of course, but I don’t think it’s as rich or as interoperable as Linux (some call it an adjunct).
Reduce repetitive labor
I have a folder where I keep all the different scripts I write. Most of the time, your problem can be solved by commercially available software, but when it comes to small, unique, repetitive tasks. Scripts can help you with this.
For example, I have a script to monitor the production environment (in fact, it should come with the project itself), an OA daemon script (in fact, it is to monitor whether I write daily newspaper or not, and send a text message to remind me if NOT), and even a script to send wechat periodically.
These scripts, to a certain extent, eliminate repetitive work in the information world and allow me to focus more on creative work.
startup
On my computer, both the system boot speed and the software (IDEA, Chrome) boot speed are slightly faster than Windows.
There is no accurate test data obtained from experience. But IDEA was tested, and it was more than a second faster
