Introduction to Linux

Last updated 10 months ago

The Linux Operating System is a type of operating system that is similar to Unix, and it is built upon the Linux Kernel. The Linux Kernel is like the brain of the operating system because it manages how the computer interacts with its hardware and resources.

What is Linux?

Linux is a powerful and flexible family of operating systems that are free to use and share. It was created by a person named Linus Torvalds in 1991.

Why Use Linux?

Why use Linux? What advantages can Linux offer? Here are 10 benefits of using the OS.

It Runs on Any Hardware

Linux is compatible with virtually every hardware device on the market today. That includes:

  • Windows PCs and Laptops

  • Macs

  • Windows Tablets

  • Chromebook

  • Non-Android Phones and Tablets

  • Gaming consoles

Linux Distributions

What’s cool is that anyone can see how the system works because its source code is open for everyone to explore and modify. This openness encourages people from all over the world to work together and make Linux better and better.

Linux not an operating system it's an Kernel
