Linux is a open source Operating System which is modelled on Unix. Basically Linux is packaged in a form known as a linux distribution for both desktop and server use. It is a family of free and open source software operating systems build on linux kernal. 

How it is different than other OS ?

Linux , in simple words is a Operating System as like other O.S such as Windows, iOS, android, etc. which provides you a medium to communicate with machines. However there is a major difference between linux and other O.S .Linux is a open source software. The code in which it is written is accessible to everyone so that user can filter it according to their needs.

 Some of the most popular Linux distress that are being used by the customer widely all over the world are,
Ubuntu, Fedora, Redhat,  Debian, Kali, Parrot, Suse, Linux mint, Arch linux .
