Linux is a Kernel

Linux is an open-source, Unix-like operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. It powers a wide range of devices, from servers and desktops to smartphones and embedded systems. Linux distributions (like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian) package the kernel with software and tools for users. It's known for stability, security, and flexibility.
