How the linux works

Linux® is an open source operating system (OS) created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Today, it has a massive user base, and is used in the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers. Users gravitate toward it for its versatility and security capabilities, among other reasons. The Linux kernel is maintained by a worldwide community of open source enthusiasts and has hundreds of unique distros.

Linux was designed to be similar to UNIX, but has evolved to run on a wide variety of hardware from phones to supercomputers. Every Linux-based OS includes the Linux kernel—which manages hardware resources—and a set of software packages that make up the rest of the operating system. Organizations can also choose to run their Linux OS on a Linux server.

This is the one question that most people ask. Why bother learning a completely different computing environment, when the operating system that ships with most desktops, laptops, and servers works just fine?

To answer that question, I would pose another question.

Popular Linux distributions include:

LINUX MINT
MANJARO
DEBIAN
UBUNTU
ANTERGOS
SOLUS
FEDORA
ELEMENTARY OS
OPENSUSE

What is blog ?

A blog is an online platform for sharing content, insights, and updates, serving purposes like storytelling, education, marketing, and audience engagement. Consisting of text, images, videos, and interactive elements, blogs bring variety, with some becoming major information sources and others serving as personal online journals.

In simple terms, blogs are the kind of online websites where you can upload content in the form of writing, images, videos, or podcasts periodically. The owner of the blog regularly uploads the content on its website, which is updated periodically too.

A blog, short for weblog, is a frequently updated web page used for personal commentary or business content. Blogs are often interactive and include sections at the bottom of individual blog posts where readers can leave comments.

Most are written in a conversational style to reflect the voice and personal views of the blogger. Some businesses use blogs to connect with target audiences and sell products.

Blog' is short for 'web log' – basically an online diary or journal created by someone to record in writing their thoughts, feelings or views on a specific subject or on life in general.

Usually appearing in chronological order, with the most recent post at the top, a blog can be informative, amusing and often contentious (and sometimes quite tedious). It can contain photographs, cartoons or just text.

Types of blog
1) Personal blog
2) Collaborative blog
3) Guest blog
4) Photoblogs
5) Review blog
6) News blog
