Comparison of DOS and Linux development in recent years

You have heard of the Linux operating system! Linux was born in the early 1990s S and became famous at the end of 1990s and has been used by many people. The famous "OpenSource code"Sports make the new LinuxProgramThe emergence of Linux has led to further development, especially in the server field.

What about DOS that everyone uses or loves? I do not know how many people think that DOS is outdated, or that no one has developed new software for it. This is clearly a lack of understanding about the development of DOS. In fact, "open source"CodeThe Movement is the movement of programmers to design new software that discloses their own code to non-Windows open source code operating systems (including DOS and Linux). Therefore, in this movement, new dos and Linux software are constantly emerging and of high quality, and development groups are constantly expanding. However, compared with foreign countries, the promotion of new DOS software in China is far less active than that in foreign countries, and the promotion of Linux software in China seems much more active than that in foreign countries. Many people have said that the DOS era has passed, and the correct statement should be that the old dos era has passed, but in the new dos era, not only have a large number of loyal fans constantly write new practical programs for DOS, but also continue to develop along with the "open source code" and other movements of Linux. So why don't many people know? The webmaster at the beginning said on the homepage of his website: "We (referring to domestic netizens) generally have low E-level. Generally, information about computer conditions comes from the news media, it may be that some people think that DOS-related things will not bring any more benefits. DOS has faded out of sight of these people and some media, making many people think that DOS is outdated." This is probably the main reason why DOS is not popular in China!

In fact, compared with Linux, DOS is not inferior to the number of software, user base, and function, linux has almost all functions of DOS (of course, compared with the software released in recent years), and DOS has many functions not available in Linux. Both dos and Linux are open, so you can develop their software freely. The number of DOS software is quite large, with hundreds of thousands (such as more than 100,000 dos viruses) far exceeding the number of Linux software. With the development of Linux and the support of its fans, the position of Windows has been challenged. However, Linux is only suitable for high-end servers, not desktops. On the contrary, DOS is the most suitable for individual users. It not only has low requirements, but also has strong practicability, and its overall function is not inferior to that of Linux. In terms of size, Linux is really scary. For example, a Red Hat Linux installation disk has four CDs (of course, including some drivers and applications ). Therefore, the development of DOS lags behind that of Linux in recent years, mainly because there is not enough publicity. Therefore, if you realize this, the situation will naturally change. Nowadays, many people use dos as an accessory to Windows and learning to add to favorites, instead of using DOS as they actually use Linux. Thanks to this mentality, many people are reluctant to develop new DOS software, so that DOS, which should have been in a positive development era, is becoming increasingly lagging behind. What a pity!

Therefore, let's develop dos together and make DoS strong!
