What is Linux ? Why Linux? lab

 

What is Linux?

Linux is a family of open-source operating systems that are based on the Linux kernel. Unlike proprietary operating systems like Windows and macOS, Linux is freely available and modifiable. This openness has led to a vast ecosystem of distributions, each with its unique set of features and target users.

Why Choose Linux?

There are numerous reasons why people choose Linux:

• Cost: Linux is free.
• Security: Linux is generally considered more secure than other operating systems due to its open-source nature and active community.
• Customization: Linux offers a high degree of customization, allowing users to tailor their system to their specific needs.
• Stability: Linux is known for its stability and reliability.
• Performance: Linux often performs better than other operating systems, especially on older hardware.
• Community: Linux has a large and supportive community that provides a wealth of resources and assistance.
