<h2 id="what-are-linux-operating-systems">What are Linux operating systems</h2>
<p>Most of us are familiar with the Windows operating system used in more than
75% of the personal computers. The Windows operating systems
are based on Windows NT kernel. </p>
<p>A kernel is the most important part of
an operating system - it performs important functions like process
management, memory management, filesystem management etc.</p>
<p>Linux operating systems are based on the Linux kernel. A Linux based
operating system will consist of Linux kernel, GUI/CLI, system libraries
and system utilities. The Linux kernel was independently developed and
released by Linus Torvalds. The Linux kernel is free and open-source -
<a href="https://github.com/torvalds/linux">https://github.com/torvalds/linux</a></p>
<p>Linux is a kernel and and not a complete operating system. Linux kernel is combined with GNU system to make a complete operating system. Therefore, linux based operating systems are also called as GNU/Linux systems. GNU is an extensive collection of free softwares like compiler, debugger, C library etc.
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.en.html">Linux and the GNU System</a></p>

<h2 id="what-are-popular-linux-distributions">What are popular Linux distributions</h2>
<p>A Linux distribution(distro) is an operating system based on
the Linux kernel and a package management system. A package management
system consists of tools that help in installing, upgrading,
configuring and removing softwares on the operating system.</p>
<p>Software are usually adopted to a distribution and are packaged in a
distro specific format. These packages are available through a distro
specific repository. Packages are installed and managed in the operating
system by a package manager.</p>
<p><strong>List of popular Linux distributions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fedora</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Ubuntu</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Debian</p>
</li>
<li>

<h2 id="linux-architecture">Linux Architecture</h2>
<p><img alt="" src="../images/linux/commands/image25.png" /></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The Linux kernel is monolithic in nature.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>System calls are used to interact with the Linux kernel space.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Kernel code can only be executed in the kernel mode. Non-kernel code is executed in the user mode.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Device drivers are used to communicate with the hardware devices.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="uses-of-linux-operating-systems">Uses of Linux Operating Systems</h2>
<p>Operating system based on Linux kernel are widely used in:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Personal computers</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Servers</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Mobile phones - Android is based on Linux operating system</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Embedded devices - watches, televisions, traffic lights etc</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Satelites</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Network devices - routers, switches etc.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="graphical-user-interface-gui-vs-command-line-interface-cli">Graphical user interface (GUI) vs Command line interface (CLI)</h2>
<p>A user interacts with a computer with the help of user interfaces. The
user interface can be either GUI or CLI.</p>
<p>Graphical user interface allows a user to interact with the computer
using graphics such as icons and images. When a user clicks on an icon
to open an application on a computer, he or she is actually using the
GUI. It's easy to perform tasks using GUI.</p>
<p>Command line interface allows a user to interact with the computer using
commands. A user types the command in a terminal and the system helps in
executing these commands. A new user with experience on GUI may find it
difficult to interact with CLI as he/she needs to be aware of the commands
to perform a particular operation.</p>
<h2 id="shell-vs-terminal">Shell vs Terminal</h2>
<p>Shell is a program that takes commands from the
users and gives them to the operating system for processing. Shell is an
example of a CLI(command line interface). Bash is one of the most popular shell
programs available on Linux servers. Other popular shell programs are
zsh, ksh and tcsh.</p>
<p>Terminal is a program that opens a window and lets you interact with the
shell. Some popular examples of terminals are gnome-terminal, xterm,
konsole etc.</p>
<p>Linux users do use the terms shell, terminal, prompt, console etc.
interchangeably. In simple terms, these all refer to a way of taking
commands from the user.</p>
