What is Linux ?

On operating any computer machine, the first task in the form of software is the operating system. After the operating system itself is loaded into computer memory, it manages and provides further instructions based on the information and data available in the computer.

One type of Unix operating system is Linux OS. Just like Windows and Mac operating systems. Similarly, Linux is also an operating system. It is a free and open source software. Which means a user can modify link coding on the internet for free and take it for commercial and personal use. It contains software that is based on Linux Kernel.

The Linux operating system was originally developed for personal computers. But later this operating system has used this operating system in many platforms mobile, smart TV, gaming console and even in vehicles.
Linux is a similar operating system as the Unix operating system. In addition, it is most commonly used in server and computer system (manframe computer) devices.

History of Linux ?

The operating system started in the year 1991 when a student named Linux Torvalds designed the free operating system Kernel in his personal project. And Linux Kernel continued to evolve from then until now.
The interesting thing is that at that time, he designed this program for his computer. And he wanted to buy Unix 386 Intel computers. But Linux was unable to buy that computer due to its economic status. In this way, a small program by him introduced Linux kernel to the world.

During that time computers were of a very large size and their operating systems were also different. You can understand how difficult it must be to operate them. With this, each software was prepared with different purpose and it was not possible to use that software on every computer.
