This article will explain in detail what the characteristics of Linux system are. The quality of the article is high, so Xiaobian shares it with you as a reference. I hope you have a certain understanding of relevant knowledge after reading this article.

Linux, like the well-known windows operating system software, is an operating system software whose logo is penguin (see figure 1). Unlike windows, linux is an open source program that freely distributes unix-like operating system software.

Unix is the predecessor of Linux and has many excellent features. For more information about Unix and Linux, you can read the article "The Relationship and Differences Between Linux and Unix."

Linux was originally designed as a computer based on the Intel X 86 series CPU architecture. It is a POSIX-based multi-user, multi-tasking, multi-CPU operating system. It was designed and developed by thousands of programmers around the world. Linux was originally developed to create Unix-like operating system compatible products that could be used freely around the world without any commercial software copyright restrictions.

Over the past 20 years, Linux has been used primarily for server-side, embedded development, and PC desktops, with the server-side domain being the most important. For example, large and very large Internet enterprises (Baidu, Tencent, Sina, Ali, etc.) are using Linux as a server-side program running platform, and more than 90% of the world's more than 1000 websites use Linux, while China uses Linux.

For Linux applications, you can read the article "What are the main application zones for Linux".

As you can see from above, the Linux operating system is very popular because it has the following excellent features:

Linux is not only free, but also open source, which means anyone can take the code and modify it according to their needs. In fact, this has led to a huge ecosystem of proprietary Linux releases, which we'll explore in the "Public Linux Releases" section.

Linux is compatible with Unix systems, which use some of the same technologies as Unix operating systems and have almost all the excellent features of Unix (especially the stability and security of the system).

Linux is easier to install than other operating systems and is not restricted by any commercial version.

Linux enables us to do all kinds of practical and creative things. For example, we can boot a Livebotimage on disk u, boot a computer with a crashed hard disk, and then find and fix the problem. Or, because Linux is a true multi-user operating system with great privacy and stability, the entire team can work simultaneously via local or remote logins.

Linux provides a sophisticated package management system to securely install and maintain software applications in each online repository.

Linux is a free-to-use and freely distributed UNIX-like operating system, is a POSIX-based multi-user, multitasking, multi-threaded and multi-CPU operating system, using Linux to run major Unix tools, applications and network protocols.

What are the characteristics of Linux system to share here, I hope the above content can be of some help to everyone, you can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it so that more people can see it.
