Inventory: Top 10 issues you are most concerned about on Linux desktops

For Linux enthusiasts, do you really know about your Linux desktop? What functions does it have that you don't know? Now let's take a look at the top ten Linux Desktop OS issues you are most concerned about.

Linux

Browser security

Linux Desktop mainly uses open source browsers. These browsers are not integrated with the operating system. They are independent applications under the control of the operating system, this means that the installation of a Linux Browser can be performed by a non-ROOT user. Currently, there are many types of browsers available in Linux, such as Mozilla, Opera, and Konqueror.

Security of Real-Time Messages

Real-time messaging programs are software for network communication through the TCP/IP protocol, including email programs and network chat programs. In Linux, real-time messaging applications are also open-source and independent from the operating system. This means that any browser strengths listed above are also applicable to Real-Time messaging programs, in addition, because real-time messaging programs in Linux support multiple protocols at the same time, Linux users can flexibly choose to use any protocol and service.

User permission Division

User security is an important part of Unix, while Linux is a Unix-like multi-user operating system that can use this core feature to divide users. Only ROOT users can have administrator privileges, manage user security levels. A typical security application in Linux separates the logon environments of different users. Except for the ROOT user, no one can log on as an administrator.

Firewall support

The Linux Kernel provides firewall services. The 2.4 Linux Kernel provides iptable as the firewall. Correct Iptables configuration can help administrators implement security policies on Linux desktops.

Linux license and support fee

Linux kernels and most applications are open-source, so Linux users do not have to pay for the license, but the commercial version released by the publisher of Linux is not free. If you select the Linux operating system provided by the community, you will not only get a free license, but also get free personal technical support that is well trained in the community.

Hardware cost

Most Linux distributions can run on very old hardware devices. According to the customer's actual situation, many old devices that cannot meet the needs of the latest Windows installation can still run Linux. Although the latest enterprise release version also raises the minimum memory requirement, computer systems that are less than the minimum memory need can still run these release versions.

Upgrade and patching

In addition to kernel or running programs, Linux OS upgrades or patches do not need to be restarted repeatedly like Windows. You can customize the plan to enable automatic system upgrades.

Linux Embedded Remote Access

Linux supports remote access through the TCP/IP protocol to achieve remote management. Because almost any task can be remotely executed, SSH remote management is usually used. Remote access mainly completes two important management tasks:

One is to remotely execute administrative programs or monitoring scripts, such as enabling any user to upgrade the virus database, install security patches, and clear temporary documents.

The second is to provide support to the customer. In addition to the network, any questions raised by the user can be solved through remote login, viewing configuration and log documentation.

Can I customize it as needed?

Sometimes it is important to customize the system you use based on your needs. If you release an operating system release that includes any application, you will find that the release occupies a huge space, it is difficult to maintain, so it is an important strategic consideration to customize the customer's desktop when deploying a Linux Desktop. Based on the features of Linux, We can flexibly choose to use components during installation, which can prevent the user's desktop system from expanding too much and assign different applications to different users, you can customize professional Release versions, such as workstation and signal processing workstation, based on your work conditions. You can freely choose the user interface style.

Modular Operating System Structure

The Linux kernel is a modular structure, which means that the kernel is not fixed. It is composed of a small binary kernel and a variety of kernel modules. The kernel module can be loaded as needed, some modules must be loaded at startup because they are required to read the document system or use hardware.
