What is Linux

If you are reading this then you are probably don’t know what linux is so I will tell you in this blog post. The operating system linux is made up of three parts. The three parts are, the kernel, the shell, and the GUI. The linux operating system is open sores. 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. Open source means free.Linux is very similar to UNIX.I am going to tell you about the kernel. If you know Unix you will know what the kernel. The code that the operating system is made out of is the kernel.the kernel is the baseline of all of the operating system and if you were to change the kernel then you might severely screw up your computer.Anyone can change the kernel because it is fully open source. The linux OS is surprisingly very similar to the unix kernel. 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 paragraph I will tell you about the GUI and tools and apps. 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.Read this paragraph if you do not know what open source mean. Like I said in the beginning open source means the the code be hide the software and/or operating system is visible and chasuble to thoughts who wish to see it. What I did not get into but I think I should cover is how then different versions are categorized. When software or operating system is changed then the final 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 great way to do very cool trcks with it. but the tools and apps can run the GUI wall at the same time run simple applications.

What is Linux

If you are reading this then you are probably don’t know what linux is so I will tell you in this blog post. They are three parts to the linux system. The kernel, the shell, and tools and apps are the three parts of linux. The linux operating system is open sores. 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. Open source means free.The linux operating system is a unix-like operating system and by that I mean is very similar to unix.I will start off in the paragraph talking to you about the kernel. If you know Unix you will know what the kernel. The kernel is the operating system’s code.the kernel is the baseline of all of the operating system and if you were to change the kernel then you might severely screw up your computer.The linux kernel is a very special kernel because every day geeks can change it to hopefully make a better operating system. The linux OS is surprisingly very similar to the unix kernel. 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. The linux OS dose not run an operating system but a GUI, graphical user interface. The GUI is what makes linux different from unix. So when you boot up your distribution of linux and after you set it up you will be able to see a desktop instead of just the shell as in unix.This is a good part if you don't know what open source means or is. Basically like I said open source means you can see and change the code. I did go into but I think is imported to know is how are the versos versions categorized. When software or operating system is changed then the final 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 that was not command by the creator then the final product is then called another distro, it 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 is so powerful and is much more then a bunch of useless code. Because the shell is a way to access the main operating system and do cool tricks, but tools and apps are asome for their ability to run a GUI.
The article What is Linux is a great for writing this article.

What is Linux

If you are reading this then you are probably don’t know what linux is so I will tell you in this blog post. The operating system linux is made up of three parts. The kernel, the shell, and the GUI are the three parts of linux. 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. As an added bonus open source make the software and/or operating system free to download and use.Linux is UNIX-like.I will explain the linux kernel. The UNIX kernel is very similar. 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 OS is surprisingly very similar to the unix kernel. 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 paragraph I will tell you about the GUI and tools and apps. First I will share with the easiest tools and apps. If you know UNIx and what its tools and apps can do. Then you should know this lair can be really powerful. 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. GUI is the main difference between UNIX and Linux. Now you don't need to use or learn the shell you can just use the GUI.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. Like I said open source means that you can see and change the code for the software or operating system. I think that the way they are categorized is imported to learn. If the code is change it 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.
