Linux

Linux is an open-source operating system based on Unix, first released in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. It is widely used for its stability, security, and flexibility. Unlike proprietary operating systems, Linux’s source code is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. This openness has led to a large and active community of developers and users.

Linux is the foundation for many different distributions (distros), such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS, each tailored for different types of users and use cases. It is commonly used in servers, desktops, embedded systems, and supercomputers. Linux is also the basis for Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system.
