This article gives you a brief introduction to the Linux operating system. The editor thought it was very practical, so I shared it with you as a reference. Let's follow the editor and have a look.

Linux is a free-to-use and free-spread Unix-like operating system. It is a multi-user, multi-task, multi-threaded and multi-CPU operating system based on POSIX and UNIX. It runs major UNIX tools, applications, and network protocols. It supports 32 bit and 64 bit hardware. Linux inherits the design idea of Unix with network as the core, and is a multi-user network operating system with stable performance.

The Linux operating system was born on October 5, 1991 (this is the first time it has been officially released). There are many different Linux versions of Linux, but they all use the Linux kernel. Linux can be installed in a variety of computer hardware devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, routers, video game consoles, desktops, mainframes and supercomputers.

Strictly speaking, the word Linux itself only refers to the Linux kernel, but in fact people have become accustomed to using Linux to describe the entire Linux kernel and use GNU to project operating systems with various tools and databases.

What language is Linux written in?

Linux operating system mainly includes kernel and component system. Most of the kernel is written in C language, but some parts are written in assembly language, because assembly has better performance and speed for hardware. Most of the component systems and additional applications of Linux are written in C, C++, Python, perl and other languages.

Thank you for reading! This is the end of the introduction of the Linux operating system. I hope the above content can be of some help to you, so that you can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it and let more people see it.
