 WHAT IS LINUX OPERATIN SYSTEM


Linux is a Unix-like, open source and community-developed
operating system for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices
and embedded devices. It is supported on almost every major
computer platform including x86, ARM and SPARC, making it one of
the most widely supported operating systems.

 How is Linux operating system used?


Every version of the Linux operating system manages hardware
resources, launches and handles applications, and provides some form
of user interface. The enormous development community and wide
range of distributions means that a Linux version is available for
almost any task, and Linux has penetrated many areas of computing.

For example, Linux has emerged as a popular operating system for


web servers such as Apache, as well as for network operations,
scientific computing tasks that require huge compute clusters, running
databases, desktop/endpoint computing and running mobile devices
with OS versions like Android.
