Answer:

The biggest difference is that software made for any one of them will not work on any other one of them.

Windows

Proprietary

Made by Microsoft Corporation, a multi billion dollar corporation

Windows is a copy of Apple’s Macintosh operating system

Bill Gates stole the Macintosh operating system to make Windows because Microsoft had nothing to compete with it. Steve Jobs gave Bill Gates the source code to Macintosh because Bill Gates was supposed to make Mac versions of their software (which they did and which helped make Microsoft rich in the early days). Apple sued Microsoft but Microsoft spent a fortune to “convince” the judge that just because it had the same “Look and Feel” that it was not the same so Apple lost the case. It was obvious later on that Apple should have won the case but there was no precedent because high technology lawsuits did not exist back then.

Windows is intended as a desktop operating system for personal computers but over the years it has been manipulated to work on cash registers, DVRs, card payment terminals (POS), phones and tablets.

Microsoft has failed terribly at making Windows derivatives work on phones and tablets and has cancelled each mobile product line after a short while, abandoning its users.

Windows in POS terminals were involved in major security breaches where millions of credit cards were stolen.

Windows has the vast majority of AAA games in the world, they consist mostly of violent war games or violent car games because they have highly specialized drivers for graphics cads made by nVidia and AMD.

Windows has the vast majority of viruses, hacks, spyware and malware in the world. This is not because they have the largest market share, they actually have far more malware than their market share. They have the most malware because Microsoft is the most hated company in the world. Windows has poor security because Microsoft never created Windows intentionally, they never learned how to make an operating system fro the ground up (they also stole DOS for 86-DOS but that is a different story) so all of Windows is a massive collection of patches that are hurriedly forced together to make it work but they always have far more bugs in them than any other operating system. This is why Microsoft has “Patch Tuesday” where they release a huge collection of patches every first Tuesday of the month, so that large corporations can test and hopefully implement the patches on their user’s machines by the next month. This is a huge effort because very often (almost always) the patches breaks something else.

Microsoft Windows is the most unreliable desktop operating system, for the above reasons.

Windows latest version, Windows 10 is only installed on 32% of all Windows PCs worldwide (an embarrassingly low number) even though Windows 10 was realized 3 1/2 years ago. Users dislike Windows 10 so much that 50% of worldwide Windows users still use Windows 7 (even though official support for Windows 7 has already ended). This supports the observation that Microsoft is the most hated company in the world.

Linux

Is a “free” and open source collection of software that some people commonly assemble into a (mostly) working operating system

As of the latest survey, GNU-Linux only has 0.9% of desktop users worldwide actually using it, so Linux for the desktop is tethering on extinction.

Linux is a knock off copy of UNIX, more specifically it was developed by Linux Torvalds to be a knockoff of Minix.

On the desktop Linux will not work by itself because it is guys a kernel so traditionally the GNU tools are added to make a complete operating system, this should be called GNU-Linux.

Linux-GNU has many different versions called distributions. Each one is different to focus on features that its creator thought to be important to them.

There have been 895 different GNU-Linux distributions created so far, at this moment we believe that there are approximately 200 distribution that still are active to some degree. All the rest of the distributions have been abandoned.

GNU-Linux can run UNIX programs sometimes. There is so much customization to the 895 different GNU-Linux distributions that there are often failures to be able to run or even compile true UNIX software. Large commercial software packages almost never work on Linux.

Open Source software There are thousands of pieces of software that are free and open source for GNU-Linux, but the majority of them are command line programs that the average user is not qualified to run or is not interested in running a 1970s craned line program. There are several programs that do run as a GUI (Mac style graphical programs) but they are crude looking and crude to use.
