What is Linux?

A Linux Distribution is an Operating System made from a software collection that is based upon the Linux kernel and package management system

Linux is not made by single company like Microsoft, Apple. It is build of many distributors to form a single Linux OS.

Linux Kernel --> Core of the Linux to all distributions and provides an interface between the hardware, software and users.

GNU shell Utilities --> Terminal interface and the commands we use.

All these components are open source and from which they makeup a specific Linux OS (Red hat, Ubuntu, Kali, ....)

You can view here at the All Linux OS to know about the Linux OS available

Most commonly used Linux Operating systems are Ubuntu, Kali, Red hat,

Ubuntu and Kali are Free Operating systems that can used at no cost.

But Red hat is a paid Operating System. We do have an alternate OS to Red hat that is totally free to use. Cent-OS is an alternate to Red hat OS
