what is LINUX ? presentation.
- 1. LINUX
- 2. WHAT IS LINUX. open source and community-developed operating system for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices and embedded devices. It is supported on almost every major computer platform including x86( Intel 8086 and 8088 microprocessors), ARM( Advanced RISC Machine) and SPARC(Scalable Processor Architecture), making it one of the most widely supported operating systems.
- 3. Torvalds released the Linux kernel in September 1991. A community of developers worked to integrate GNU("GNU's Not Unix!") components with Torvalds' kernel to create a complete, free operating system known collectively as Linux. Torvalds continues to develop the Linux kernel, currently at version 4.9, and a vast developer community continues to create and integrate a wide range of components. Linux is basically a command-line operating system. However, many distributions (distros) come with a desktop environment (DE) that provides a GUI for Linux users.

- 6. LINUX VS WINDOWS – THE 9 MOST AWESOME DIFFERENCES
- 7. • Linux is open source operating system whereas Windows OS is commercial. • Linux has access to source code and alters the code as per user need whereas Windows does not have access to source code. • Linux will run faster than windows latest editions even with a modern desktop environment and features of the operating system whereas windows are slow on older hardware. • Linux distributions don’t collect user data whereas Windows collect all the user details which lead to privacy concern.
- 8. • Linux is more reliable then windows as in Linux we can kill application if they hung through x kill command whereas, in windows, we need to try multiple times to kill it. • Linux supports a wide variety of free software’s than windows but windows have a large collection of video game software. • In Linux software cost is almost free as all programs, utilities, complex applications such as open office are free but windows also have many free programs and utilities but most of the programs are commercial.
- 9. • Linux is highly secure because it’s easy to identify bugs and fix whereas Windows has a large user base and becomes a target for developers of viruses and malware. • Linux is used by corporate organizations as servers and operating system for security purpose at Google, Facebook, twitter etc. whereas windows are mostly used by gamers and business users. • Linux and windows have same priority over hardware and driver support in the present situation.
- 10. LINUX DISTRIBUTION OR DISTROS There are commercially backed distributions, such as Fedora (Red Hat), openSUSE (SUSE) and Ubuntu (Canonical Ltd.), and entirely community- driven distributions, such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux.
- 12. Kali Linux Made to be a completely customizable OS, used for penetration testing. It is based on Debian GNU/Linux and is used mostly by security experts. ROSA Linux A Russian distribution available in three different editions: ROSA Desktop Fresh, ROSA Enterprise Desktop and ROSA Enterprise Linux Server, with the latter two aiming at commercial users. Its desktop editions come bundled with proprietary software such as Adobe Flash Player, multimedia codecs and Steam.

- 15. Lubuntu Lubuntu is a project that is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system that is "lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient“. Red Hat Linux It was the first Linux distribution to use the RPM Package Manager as its packaging format, and over time has served as the starting point for several other distributions, such as Mandriva Linux and Yellow Dog Linux.
