Linux Operation System

Linux operating system was created in 1991 by Finnish computer scientist Linus Torvalds.
Torvalds aimed to create a free and open-source operating system, primarily for his own use. Linux began as a Unix-like operating system but its open-source nature led to its development by a vast community. The Linux kernel, mainly written by Linus Torvalds, serves as the core component of the operating system, handling essential system functions. It comes with a comprehensive set of commands and drivers, allowing interaction with computer hardware. Due to its open-source nature, Linux is supported by a wide range of programmers and developers worldwide. This enables its extensive functionality, security, and the availability of diverse distributions (distros) that offer users freedom of choice. Popular Linux distributions include Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and CentOS.
Linux is widely used in server systems, supercomputers, mobile devices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.
Additionally, the Android operating system is based on the Linux kernel.
