Positive relationship: SL / CA + Hardware + Work
Before showing our list of «Best Free Software and Open Source apps to work on Linux» or any other Operating system compatible as Windows and MacOSIt is good to point out the importance of certain aspects that are worth highlighting. And these are the following:
Benefits of using GNU / Linux Distros as predominant Operating Systems
More freedom, privacy and IT security for users
This usually happens, both at Home and in Companies. And above all, because there is less risk of being attacked by malicious software, such as viruses and ransomware, which in turn, avoids lost time from maintenance, support and repair work. And thanks to an abundant collection of software tools and technological solutions, both free, open and free, as well as proprietary and commercial.
In addition to, more possibility of using computer equipment that is old, cheap or simple, that is, that have low hardware or computing resources.
Less likely to wear out or damage computer equipment (computers / servers)
Computers that run GNU / Linux and free and open Apps tend to generate less heat and less power consumption, which is beneficial especially when there is constant use of the computers. And they generate fewer problems related to the misuse of connectivity, the bandwidth of the Internet or the high consumption of resources (Disk, CPU and RAM).
This is due to the fact that free and open Distros and Apps do not usually connect and / or transmit important information or not, in an authorized way or not, in the background, to their creators or third parties, or to carry out constant forced updates. And because, they are usually smaller and lighter avoiding the unnecessary use of computer resources.
Better capacity and more pleasant adaptation for users
Although the resistance to change at the start is usually strong, this side of technology offers the power to change and / or customize the graphical interface of the Operating System more easily and to their needs. And it offers more available user and technical documentation, allowing you to adapt and troubleshoot more quickly.
They also allow a greater possibility of being able to meet and have a greater number of users, groups or communities willing to learn, teach and help with the use of both the Operating System and the Applications. Which in turn, motivates reading and self-learning in users, especially the English language, since the documentation is usually more abundant and updated in that language.
