Linux

Linux is an open source operating system (OS). It was designed to be similar to UNIX. The operating system connects the software and hardware parts of the system. Linux has evolved to run on a variety of hardware like supercomputers, smartphones, cars, enterprise servers, home appliances, and home desktops.

In several ways, it is similar to other operating systems like Mac, Windows, iOS. It has a graphical interface, and if one can use electronic devices and computers, one can easily use Linux. It has the same types of software like photo editors, word processors, video editors, and so on. However, it is open-source software, which means the codes are free and available for everyone.

It is secure, flexible and offers excellent support from user communities which include companies like Red Hat, Canonical, and SUSE. Linux is everywhere from your cars, android phones, cameras, wearables, etc. So, many people are using Linux without being aware of it.
