What is the difference between Linux and Java?

Java is a programming environment  platform independent.

What it means is, it can be ported to many operating systems.
Due to this loose meaning of its interoperability it has many bugs (depending on the system).

Linux try to use it sparingly due its buggy nature, whereas Windows use it heavily.

Java is not the only programing language in this world and Linux, it has Python, Ruby, Perl C and C++ and many more tightly integrated.

Github is its known parent form maintained by Linus himself.


Linux is an operating system based on C language (developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie) and is basically a very long -long text file with millions of lines and code with bug  tracking capability.
It has many other programming languages embedded and integrated within its running and the Kernel's job is to make complex jobs seem simple in operation.
It has modules and Libraries that are dynamically linked when needed.
There are both streamlined and parallel programs running together to make it a very stable environment unlike Windows.
It is not a one man or one team's job but the effort of collaborative community with Linus at top conducting the massive Opera.
