Accordingly, what are the similarities between Windows and Linux?

15) Both Windows and Linux have pretty good security. Windows has Access Control Lists on its NTFS file-system, but Linux uses Read/Write/Execute bits by default instead. Linux does have the ability to use ACLs, but I have never heard of Linux using ACLs by default.

Subsequently, question is, what do Linux and Mac OS have in common? Mac OS is based on a BSD code base, while Linux is an independent development of a unix-like system. This means that these systems are similar, but not binary compatible. Furthermore, Mac OS has lots of applications that are not open source and are build on libraries that are not open source.

Similarly one may ask, is Linux and Windows the same?

Linux is open source operating system whereas Windows OS is commercial. Linux has access to source code and alters the code as per user need whereas Windows does not have access to source code. Linux and windows have same priority over hardware and driver support in the present situation.

Are there different types of permissions for Linux and Windows systems?

While both Linux and Windows approach permissions in a different way – with Windows offering fine-grained user-level control, while Linux offering application-level control, both operating systems reflect their end-user and application.
