Today, what the editor shares with you is the basic knowledge of the linux operating system. I believe most people don't know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor summed up the following content for you. Without saying much, let's move on.

Computer operating system is a platform for managing computer software and hardware resources. Without it, no computer can run normally. The mainstream operating systems on the market are Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac OS X. Linux, developed by Finnish university student Linus in 1991, is an open source Unix-like operating system with the following features:

Open operating system

Linux is a free software, developers are free to install and modify the source code of the software, compared with the command line operation of Unix, Linux provides a window management system, relatively easy to operate, enterprises can use Linux free of charge, greatly reducing the cost budget.

Strong hardware support

The Linux system is very easy to maintain, and users can update the operating system and all installed software centrally, which is both safe and efficient.

Linux can effectively use system resources, allow users to install according to specific hardware requirements, and allow Linux to be installed on old computers, thus helping to make the best use of computer hardware resources.

High security and stability

Under the Linux system, unless the user logs in as root, the program cannot change the system settings and configuration, and it is rare that the computer cannot be started because of the user's misoperation.

The permissions of files and malware downloaded by Linux will be limited, which can effectively avoid the invasion of viruses. The common blackmail viruses and worms in Windows systems can not run under Linux.

Linux is very stable and not easy to crash, and Linux will be able to run at the same speed in a few years as it was when it was first installed. And Windows may not be able to keep up with the speed after half a year of operation.

Scope of use of Linux

Mainly used in personal computers and servers. As an enterprise server, Linux is usually used in database server, load balancing server, mail server, DNS server, proxy server, router and so on. It not only reduces the operating cost, but also obtains the high stability and high reliability of Linux system, and does not need to consider the copyright of commercial software.

In recent years, Linux has developed rapidly because of its stability, open source, free, secure and efficient characteristics, and its market share in the server has exceeded 80%. With the development of cloud computing, Linux is still the trend in the future server and personal computer field.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the linux operating system? If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel. Thank you for reading.
