Linux Lessons
Linux is a family of Unix-like operating systems (abbreviated “OS” ) that use the Linux kernel, developed by Finnish-American programmer Linus Torvalds. Operating systems that use the Linux kernel are called Linux distributions, and they are operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, but with one very important feature: their source code is open, as they are distributed under the GNU General Public License, which promotes the creation of free and open source software.
Linux has been around since the mid-1990s. You can find it everywhere: in phones, laptops, watches, supercomputers, cars, and even refrigerators. It has gained popularity among both developers and ordinary computer users.
Linux-based operating systems are popular among developers because they support almost all of the most commonly used programming languages: C/ C++, Java, Python, Ruby, and others. They also facilitate working with a wide range of useful software development applications.
