Linux Os Project

Linux is an open-source operating system created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. It is free to use and modify, with its source code publicly available. Linux uses a multi-layered architecture, with the kernel interacting directly with hardware and applications running through an interface like a shell. It provides security, frequent updates, and customizability through access to its source code. However, it can be more difficult to use for beginners and lacks some commercial software and games compared to other operating systems.
