Linux+ Insights

What is Linux+?

Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Distributions include the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word 'Linux' in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name 'GNU/Linux' to emphasize the importance of GNU components. Linux is commonly used as an operating system for servers, embedded systems, and personal computers. Its open-source nature allows for customization and community-driven development.
