- unix gains popularity now as it uses C which is portable, networking possibility

- later, linus torvald a finnish student wrote initial version of linux


- first version of linux is released in 1991
- torvald only wrote kernel part of linux
- OS is developed by millions of developers around the world

UNix vs Linux:

- is unix and linux different..?

- linux and unix are different but they do have a relationship


as linux derived from unix
- linux is a unix clone developed from scratch by linux torvald
- linux kernel written from scratch (not even a single line of code
is copied from unix )
- linux is a kernel only it is not complete OS
- kernel is generally packed in distro to make it OS
- linux : C lang and other prog , unix : C and assembly
- Linux : OPensource (mostly) , unix : mixed (mostly closed source)
- linux : monolithic , unix : monolithic, microkernel, hybrid kernel
- linux : Debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, andriod , Unix : IBM AIX, solaris,
darwin, MacOS
- linux : patches are quick , unix : slow
- linux : mostly free but some are paid ( redhat, fedora), UNix : mostly paid but
some are free (solaris, freeBSD)

Distributions:

- Distro's
- Other OS like microsoft combine each bit of code into single package and releases
called
windows 10, 11
- in linux different parts (kernel, utility, server, desktop, graphics) developed
by different organisations
- In dividual we can access each part and make OS of our own
- Distro bring together those required tools to make a complete OS

Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora, Red hat, arch linux
