What is Linux

I will anser the question what is linux. The operating system linux is made up of three parts. The three parts are, the kernel, the shell, and tools and app. 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. Open source means free.Linux is UNIX-like.I will start off in the paragraph talking to you about the kernel. The UNIX kernel is very similar. The operating system's code is called the kernel.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 know UNIx and what its tools and apps can do. Then you should know this lair can be really powerful. The linux OS dose not run an operating system but a GUI, graphical user interface. THe big difference that Linux has from UNIX is the GUI. Now you don't need to use or learn the shell you can just use the GUI.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. I think that the way they are categorized is imported to learn. 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, 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 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.

I used two sites to write this these articles are "What is Linux | Blogger" and "What is Linux | Weebly."
