先决条件–操作系统
1. Windows ：
Windows操作系统由Microsoft开发，于1985年11月开发，并在2015年7月发布Windows10。它是一种开源软件，因此需要付费，并且需要有效的经过身份验证的许可证才能使用。要获得支持，取决于Microsoft。由于它像Ubuntu这样非常安全，并且不能像Ubuntu一样提供可比的性能，因此普通用户和游戏玩家都可以使用它。与Ubuntu相比，Windows非常易于学习和入门。它具有像Cortana这样的视觉助手。
2. Ubuntu ：
Ubuntu操作系统由Canonical Ltd开发，于2004年10月开发。它是一个开源软件，因此它是免费的，没有使用许可。要获得支持，取决于互联网上的开放社区。由于它更安全，更快捷，因此可供开发人员和测试人员使用。与Windows相比，Ubuntu不易学习和入门，因为它主要用于命令。它没有像Windows一样的视觉助手。它肯定比Windows操作系统轻。
