What is Unix?

Unix is a family of multitasking, multi-user computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by a modular design philosophy, the use of plain text files for data storage, and a hierarchical file system. Unix-like systems, including Linux and macOS, are widely used in servers, workstations, and mobile devices due to their stability, security, and flexibility. It is commonly used in server environments, software development, and academic research.
