manipulate the system they are working on in any way. This lets the users
perform complex tasks and that's what hackers need all the time.
2) Security
For now, Windows has a huge number of applications being developed
followed by Mac because there are a lot of novice users using these systems
to perform their daily life tasks. This has made them easy prey for crackers
and hackers who in a huge number try to find loopholes in the systems. But
Linux has more security features among the all other OS and thus is often
preferred by hackers who take their anonymity very strongly.
3) Changing the OS features
Linux, when compared to other lets its users change things as they like.
People can sort out the important networking tools they use and can
customize it on their desktop. A lot of other functionalities like Ram
management and Mac address can be easily manipulated using Linux,
unlike windows. This customization capability is one of the most important
reasons why hackers prefer Linux. There are a lot of customized GUI
interfaces like GNOME, KDE, MATE for Linux.
4) Expanding things to fit your preferences
You might have heard about Star Wars already. It is one of the most famous
science fiction books that have changed the whole genre. It worked on a
concept that one can create their storylines using the star war universe.
Linux too works in the same way. By using the kernel source code one can
create their Operating system called Distros in Linux world. This has made
much easier for things to organize in a better way. And hackers too utilized
this functionality to make things better for them. In the next section, we will
discuss this in detail.
