and widely used in the industry as well as on a personal use basis. Who created
Linux and why? Linux was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 as a hobby
project. Since then, many of the users have contributed to its growth and
development of it. Before Jumping directly to the main topic “Linux Kernel” one
must know a few concepts (prerequisites) to better understand the Linux Kernel.
What is Linux Operating System

• The Linux Operating System is a type of


operating system that is similar to Unix, and it
is built upon the Linux Kernel. The Linux
Kernel is like the brain of the operating system
because it manages how the computer
interacts with its hardware and resources. It
makes sure everything works smoothly and
efficiently. But the Linux Kernel alone is not
enough to make a complete operating system.
