Linux is a free-to-use and free-spread Unix-like operating system, which is mainly used on computers based on Intel x86 series CPU. This system is designed and implemented by thousands of programmers all over the world. The aim is to build Unix-compatible products that are not restricted by the copyright of any commercial software and can be used freely all over the world.

The emergence of Linux began with a computer amateur named Linus Torvalds, who was a student at the University of Helsinki in Finland. His aim was to design an operating system instead of Minix, an operating system teaching program written by a computer professor named Andrew Tannebaum, which could be used on personal computers with 386,486 or Pentium processors and with all the functions of the Unix operating system, so he began the design of a prototype of Linux.

Linux is famous for its efficiency and flexibility. It can realize all the Unix features on the PC computer and has the ability of multi-task and multi-user. Linux is obtained free of charge under the GNU public license and is an operating system that complies with the POSIX standard.

The Linux operating system software package includes not only the complete Linux operating system, but also the text editor, high-level language compiler and other application software. It also includes a X-Windows graphical user interface with multiple window managers, just as we use Windows NT, allowing us to use windows, icons, and menus to manipulate the system.

There are two main reasons why Linux is loved by computer enthusiasts. One is that it belongs to free software, so users can get it and its source code without paying any fees, and can modify it according to their own needs, use it free of charge, and continue to spread without restriction. Another reason is that it has all the functions of Unix, and anyone who uses the Unix operating system or wants to learn the Unix operating system can benefit from Linux.
