Is linux an application software, is linux an application software?

Linux is a free, open-source operating system.

Linux, the full name of GNU Linux, is a free-to-use and freely disseminated UNIX-like operating system, whose kernel was first released on October 5, 1991 by Linus Bennadiket Tovaz, it is mainly inspired by the ideas of Minix and Unix, and is a multi-user, multi-tasking, multi-threaded and multi-CPU operating system based on POSIX. It runs major Unix tools, applications, and network protocols. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware.

Linux inherits UNIX's network-centric design philosophy and is a multi-user network operating system with stable performance. There are hundreds of different distributions of Linux, such as community-based Debian, ArchLinux, and commercially-developed Red

HAT Enterprise Linux, SUSE, Oracle Linux, etc.

After studying, you can work as an operation and maintenance engineer, cloud computing engineer, security architecture engineer and other positions.

Linux is an operating system, which is similar to Windows, but the two of them are different operating platforms, so most of the software is not universal. The vast majority of home computers use Windows, so there are not many software on the Linux platform, and many software that is commonly used under Windows may not be found in Linux.

No, it's the operating system.

Software that is not used for system purposes on the operating system, such as office and QQ, are all considered application software.

There are several directions you can look at.

Direction 1: Linux system maintenance, such as SRE, cloud computing, etc.

Direction 2: Embedded smart home, Internet of Things, 5G, etc.

Direction 3: Mobile phone and mobile terminal.

At present, it is mainly active in major Internet companies that use Linux system, which is the main application at present.

Computer software is generally divided into two categories: system software and application software

The system software is a variety of operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, etc., as well as operating system patches and hardware drivers, all of which are system Senmingqiao software classes.

Linux is a free and open source** UNIX-like operating system. The kernel of this operating system was first released by Linus Tovaz on October 5, 1991. After adding the application of the user space, it becomes the Linux operating system.

Linux is also the most well-known example of the development of free software and open source** software. As long as they follow the GNU General Public License, any individual or organization is free to use all of Linux's underlying sources**, and is free to modify and redistribute them. Most Linux systems also include programs like XWINDOW, which provides a GUI interface.

With the exception of a few experts, most of them use Linux distributions directly, rather than choosing every component or setting up their own.
