Linux Operating System Basics

The Linux operating system was developed in a cathedral-style and market-style way, when people were dissatisfied with the practice of monopoly charging of the UNIX operating system in commercial companies, so people modified and improved the open source code, and eventually Linux was born, Personally, it is the triumph of open source software against commercial software.

A complete Linux operating system consists of a four-part kernel (kernel), shell, file system and application. Kernel consists of process scheduling, memory management, virtual file system, network interface, inter-process communication five parts, kernel function has drive hardware, resource allocation, process management, file system Management, security protection and other functions.
