Betriebssysteme für Computer

Dein Betriebssystem sieht alles, was du tust. Diese reichen von gewöhnlichen Linux-Distributionen bis zu Systemen, die keine Spuren hinterlassen sollen.

Mehrere starten von einem USB-Stick oder in einer virtuellen Maschine, du kannst sie also testen, ohne deinen Rechner zu löschen.

Reihenfolge: was das Werkzeug von dir verlangt (nichts, ein Konto, einen Ausweis), dann offener vor geschlossenem Code, dann alphabetisch. Affiliate-Links und Sponsoren ändern sie nicht.
