今天，Linux的需求量很大。您到处都能看到Linux的使用。它在我们的服务器，台式机，智能手机上占主导地位，甚至在冰箱等某些电子设备中也使用。
有人认为Unix和Linux是同义词，但这不是事实。许多操作系统都像Unix一样开发，但是没有一个操作系统像Linux那样流行。 Linux是Unix的克隆。它具有与Unix类似的几个功能，但仍存在一些关键区别。在Linux和Windows之前，计算机世界由Unix主导。 Unix是受版权保护的名称，IBM AIX，HP-UX和Sun Solaris只是迄今为止保留的Unix操作系统。
| Comparison | Linux | Unix |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | It is an open-source operating system which is freely available to everyone. | It is an operating system which can be only used by its copyrighters. |
| Examples | It has different distros like Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, etc | IBM AIX, HP-UX and Sun Solaris. |
| Users | Nowadays, Linux is in great demand. Anyone can use Linux whether a home user, developer or a student. | It was developed mainly for servers, workstations and mainframes. |
| Usage | Linux is used everywhere from servers, PC, smartphones, tablets to mainframes and supercomputers. | It is used in servers, workstations and PCs. |
| Cost | Linux is freely distributed,downloaded, and distributed through magazines also. And priced distros of Linux are also cheaper than Windows. | Unix copyright vendors decide different costs for their respective Unix Operating systems. |
| Development | As it is open source, it is developed by sharing and collaboration of codes by world-wide developers. | Unix was developed by AT&T Labs, various commercial vendors and non-profit organizations. |
| Manufacturer | Linux kernel is developed by the community of developers from different parts of the world. Although the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds oversees things. | Unix has three distributions IBM AIX, HP-UX and Sun Solaris. Apple also uses Unix to make OSX operating system. |
| GUI | Linux is command based but some distros provide GUI based Linux. Gnome and KDE are mostly used GUI. | Initially it was command based OS, but later Common Desktop Environment was created. Most Unix distributions use Gnome. |
| Interface | The default interface is BASH (Bourne Again SHell). But some distros have developed their own interfaces. | It originally used Bourne shell. But is also compatible with other GUIs. |
| File system support | Linux supports more file system than Unix. | It also supports file system but lesser than Linux. |
| Coding | Linux is a Unix clone,behaves like Unix but doesn’t contain its code. | Unix contain a completely different coding developed by AT&T Labs. |
| Operating system | Linux is just the kernel. | Unix is a complete package of Operating system. |
| Security | It provides higher security. Linux has about 60-100 viruses listed till date. | Unix is also highly secured. It has about 85-120 viruses listed till date |
| Error detection and solution | As Linux is open-source,whenever a user post any kind of threat, developers from all over the world start working on it. And hence, it provides faster solution. | In Unix, users have to wait for some time for the problem to be resolved. |
