What is Linux?

Linux is an operating system (OS), which is the software responsible for the communication between a computer’s software and hardware. Technically, the part of the operating system that’s actually called “Linux” is the kernel, which is the piece of software responsible for managing the computer’s core processing unit (CPU), and memory and peripheral devices like the monitor, keyboard, printer, etc. The original Linux kernel is open source, meaning that users can alter and redistribute its source code. 

Linux comes in different variations known as projects or distributions. Some popular distributions of Linux include Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
