Linux
is a well-known open source, cross-platform operating system. It is based on
UNIX. Being an operating system, its work is to receive requests from programs
and pass on those requests to the computer’s hardware. In simple sense, it is a
communication bridge between software and hardware.
It
is in most smartphones, like Android uses a Linux kernel. It can run
on desktops, laptops and supercomputers, on servers and other
embedded systems.

To
get started you just need a PC at your home (like Desktop or Laptop)
and bootable CD/DVD or Pen drive with any popular Linux distro like
Debian, Ubuntu, Arch etc. It’s not that like you have to do some
research for which distro to install but if you want then you can and
get the right one as per the kind of work you want to do.
There
are lots of different distro’s for different kind of works, for
example if you want Linux for just basic office works, you can go for
Ubuntu and if you are Ethical Hacker and want to do some penetration
testing then you can go for Kali Linux and if you want a distro for
your home server or any kind other then you can go for CentOS.
But
its not like these are just the one. There are lot more out there and
all of them have there own pros and cons. But at the end its better
to have a free and open source operating system then to pay and get
licence for it.
