Description: Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel. As an operating system, Linux is software that sits underneath all of the other software on a computer, receiving requests from those programs and relaying these requests to the computer's hardware. It manages hardware resources, launches and handles applications, and provides a user interface. It is used in various applications such as web servers, network operations, scientific computing, databases, and mobile devices (like Android).
