A family of open-source Unix-like operating systems known as Linux are based on the Linux kernel, which Linus Torvalds initially released in 1991. The open-source operating system is very adaptable (OS). It makes it easier for software and hardware to communicate, which powers a large portion of today’s world, from computers to automobiles. A Linux distribution is typically how Linux is packaged.
Linux is used in a variety of devices due to its versatility, including desktop and laptop computers, web servers, supercomputers, cellphones, televisions, routers, digital cameras, musical instruments, and automobiles.
Linux serves as the operating system’s kernel. The kernel is, to put it simply, what converts computer code into binary data that the hardware can comprehend.
