Linux

IT Infrastructure and Networking

Linux is a free, open-source Unix-like operating system kernel, first released by Linus Torvalds in 1991, that now underpins countless distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, etc.) running on servers, desktops, embedded devices, and mobile platforms. It powers the majority of the world's web servers, cloud infrastructure, and supercomputers, making familiarity with it essential for system administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers.
