GNU/Linux

GNU/Linux is an open-source operating system that combines the GNU software collection and the Linux kernel. Think of it as the foundation that runs your computer, similar to Windows or macOS, but with more flexibility and freedom. Users can modify and share it freely, which has led to a variety of versions or "distributions," like Ubuntu and Fedora. It's popular for servers, scientific computing, and among tech enthusiasts, offering strong security and customization. Essentially, GNU/Linux provides an alternative that empowers users to control their computing environment without the restrictions often found in commercial software.
