Linux supports more hardware than other operating systems.

Article title: Linux has more hardware than other operating systems. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Recently, the famous publishing group O'Reilly interviewed Greg Kroah-Harman, a long-time Linux kernel maintainer, who is a Linux USB driver programmer.

Greg Kroah-Harman started to write Linux drivers for free two years ago, and now the driver volunteer team has reached 300 people. in the interview, Greg Kroah-Harman claimed that Linux is more hardware than other operating systems.

He pointed out that the number of Linux drivers is usually 1/3 less than that of Windows. in fact, Linux does not support less hardware than Windows. in many cases, you do not need to write a new driver for the new hardware. by copying code, you can use the new hardware.

In fact, 500 of the world's top 80% super computers run on Linux operating systems. in the embedded platform, Linux usage is also the world's first. linux is the most amazing operating system in these two markets.
