WHAt is Linux

I am going to tell you what is linux in this article. The operating system linux is made up of three parts. The three parts are, the kernel, the shell, and the GUI. This operating system is open source. When a peace of software and/or operating system is open source it means that the code ( if you will) can be see for whoever wish to see it. It also means that the software and/or operating system can be change to hopefully make it better for the user. Any open source software of operating system is free.The linux operating system is a unix-like operating system and by that I mean is very similar to unix.I am going to tell you about the kernel. Now if you’re familiar with the operating system unix then you probably know what the kernel is. The kernel is the operating system’s code.The kernel is what the rest of the system depends on and if you were to change it you could seriously screw up your computer.Sense the linux operating system is open source anyone can see and change the kernel. The linux kernel is almost the same as UNIX but with a few key changes. I admit that I have not memorized or closely look at the center part of the linux operating system, when I say center I am talking about the three layers of the linux operating system which are three components, the kernel, the shell, and tools and apps.The shell is one of my favorite part of Linux because this is the part that humans interact with and you can mess around with without hurting your computer but at the same time being able to do cool tricks, needed action, searching for files, writing a program, and much more. All the bash commands that you will learn will be use in side the shell and when you open terminal in linux you will be in the shell. An easy way to deifie the shell is to say it is where the computer shows information and the humans inputs data to save or to use to retrieve info for the computer. |The shell is where you will mostly spend your time when you are in terminal you are using the shell.}

In this section I will explain the GUI. I will share with you some tools and apps to use but first. If you are familiar with unix then you will know how helpful and powerful it can be, it can runs apps from simple word pressers to hole operating systems. But in the linux world it dose not run or nor meant to run hole operating systems but it will run a GUI, graphic user interface. The GUI is what makes linux different from unix. The GUI will be able to run instead of a shell.So if you are still not sure what open sours means or you are wondering what I meat when I said distribution then this section is for you. Basically like I said open source means you can see and change the code. I think that the way they are categorized is imported to learn. Every time someone changes the code the new product is called a distribution. When a distribution is updated by its creator it will be called a new version like most other software but when it is updated by a different person then the software or operating system will be labeled as another distro, which is short for distribution.To conclude this blog I would like to say that Linux operating system is so amazing because that each layer is so just amazing like, the kernel, the shell, tool and application. Because the kernel can do so much more then just a bunch of code, Because the shell is a way to access the main operating system and do cool tricks, but the tools and apps can run the GUI wall at the same time run simple applications.

I used four articles to wright this one these articles are "What is Linux | JBOYSOC," "What is Linux | Webbly," "What is Linux | Squidoo," and "Linux Desktop Users | Write Effects."
