The philosophical thought of Linux

    

According to the World supercomputer TOP500 rankings, Linux not only dominates, it also has the potential to squeeze other opponents into the top 500 list. In the world's 500 fastest computers, the strong open-source operating system Linux accounted for 485 of the seats, and then high innovation. In other words, 97% of the world's fastest computers are Linux-based. The remaining 15 computers have 13 running UNIX systems. These computers are running the Ibmpower processor and running the IBM AIX operating system. One of the fastest is the British weather prediction system, ECMWF, ranked 60th in the list.

Such a powerful operating system must have its philosophical thinking to support it to run such a perfect, concise!

1. All documents

Files used, including devices, are considered files in Linux and are easy to manage and define

2. Small, single-use programs

Programs and executables are not too complex to ensure efficient operation of the Linux kernel

3. Connect the program and complete complex functions together

complex functions can be accomplished by connecting multiple simple programs. For the complex function of Linux through the combination of simple programs, and so on to ensure the efficiency of simple functions at the same time, complex procedures are bound to be efficient

4. Avoid confusing user interfaces

such as windows as a problem, the general people choose to restart, it is not the case is to reinstall the system, because it is not open-source windows, and the user interface more complex operating system problems, the average person is no way to solve. But Linux is not the same, the first Linux is open source, no matter what the problem can be done through the simple command line debugging, modify the configuration of the system, everything is simple and clear-based.

5. configuration data stored in text

Linux all the configuration files are stored in the text configuration file, no matter what configuration changes can only modify their configuration file, the configuration file when the text is just any text editor can be modified instead of similar to Windows will be saved in the registry, And the Windows registry requires a special binary or hexadecimal editor to edit, the modification is more complex
