Imagine you want to do something on your computer or laptop but you find that it is restricted. Or you don't like some function in your system. What do you do? Well, most of us would sigh and move on. But not Mr. Linus Torvalds!
He created a whole new Operating System! Just to suit his needs and to be able to use and change it as he wanted.
And this friends, is how Linux was born!
Linux was inspired from other OS's. The birth flow of linux goes somewhat like this-
UNIX > MINIX > LINUX
You would be thinking what exactly is so special? Let me tell you-
- Linux is an operating system that is FREE-ly available to use.
- It is very STABLE and SECURE. So minimum to no bugs! ;)
- If you don't like something......well you can CUSTOMIZE it!
- If you don't find something, go ahead and ADD it. This will help others too!
These features make Linux a highly desirable candidate for industry use and also personal use.
So what do you think? Would you switch to Linux?
