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.

INTRODUCTION/HISTORY:- (1)Linux Is created in the early 1990s by FINNISH SOFTWARE
ENGINEER LINUS TORVALDS & the FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION (FSF). (2) It is initally released on September 17,1991. (3) It is a family of free & open-sourse operating system based on LINUX KERNAL.
FEATURES:- (1) PORTABLE= portability means software can works on different types of Hardware in same way. (2) OPEN SOURSE=Linux source code is freely available & it is community based development Project. (3) MULTIUSER CAPABILITY=Multiple users can access the source system resources like Memory, hard disk, etc. ADVANTAGE OF LINUX DISADVANTAGE OF LINUX
• 1) MORE SECURITY:-Linux is more secure than any • 1) ADAPTATION:-For people who are less expertise other operating system. in computers it can be hard to understand Linux. • 2) SOFTWARE CAPABILITY:-The software updates • 2) SOFTWARE CAPABILITY:-Popular applications in Linux are easy and frequent. which are made for Windows and Mac are not available for Linux. • 3) SOURCE CODE:-Linux gives the user opportunity to make any change in the software , it’s source • 3) GAMING:-Games doesn’t natively supports code is freely available. Linux because gaming developers are not much interested in Linux. • 4) COST:-LINUX comes in GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL). Different windows does not need • 4) TECHNICAL SUPPORT:-In Linux the problem of license that is it’s os is free. technical issues cannot be rectified unless you find solution on yourself. This lacks in Technical Support. LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
LINUX SYSTEM WORKS ON 4
LATERS:- 1) HARDWARE:-It consist all physical devices attached to system such as Hard disk drive, RAM, CPU, etc. 2) KERNEL:-Kernel is the core component of Linux os as it directly interact with the hardware. 3) SHELL:-shell is the interface which takes input for users and sends instructions to kernel , Also takes output from kernel and sends the result back to output shell. 4) APPLICATIONS:-These are utility program which runs on shell such as your web browser, media player, text editor, etc.
