Difference between Linux and QNX

1. Linux : Linux is a group of open source Unix-like operating systems which was developed by Linus Torvalds. It is a packaged of Linux distribution. Some of the mostly used Linux distribution are Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu. It was basically written in C language and assembly language. Kernel used in Linux is Monolithic kernel. The target systems of Linux distributions are cloud computing, embedded systems, mobile devices, personal computers, servers, mainframe computers and supercomputers. The first version of Linux was launched in 1991. 2. QNX : QNX is a commercial and real-time operating system which is provided by Blackberry Limited. It is an Unix-like operating system. The kernel used in this operating system is microkernel. It is one of the first commercially successful microkernel operating systems. It was originally developed by Quantum Software Systems which was later renamed QNX Software Systems. QNX Sofftware Systems was acquired by BlackBerry Limited in 2010. The first version of QNX was launched in 1982.
