What is Linux OS used for?
Linux is the leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and the only OS used on TOP500 supercomputers (since November 2017, having gradually eliminated all competitors). It is used by around 2.3 percent of desktop computers.
What is Linux and how does it work?
The kernel is the core of the Linux operating system which schedules processes and interfaces directly with the hardware. It manages system and user I/O, processes, devices, files, and memory. Users input commands through the shell, and the kernel receives the tasks from the shell and performs them.
