Linux is an open-source operating system kernel, meaning it’s the core component that manages hardware and software resources. It forms the base for various Linux distributions (distros) like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian, which bundle the kernel with other system software. Due to its versatility and customizability, Linux is used everywhere, from servers and embedded systems to desktops and mobile devices.
Linux was created by Linus Torvalds.
