Know The Importance Of Linux
Over the years, Linux has grown in popularity. In the mid-1990s, Linux was simply an open-source operating system, which was designed for techs who truly didn’t like Microsoft. Back then, no technical support was offered for the OS and users were strictly operating on their own.
As the new century moved forward, companies began offering technical support for Linux. Companies including Red hat were formed. Recently in 2018, Red hat was purchased by IBM.
Linux now runs in the background of countless fortune 500 companies operating systems. The employees who need to do work can behave as if their system was running on Windows. Linux is used by companies both large and small because the operating system is difficult to hack. The fact that Linux has many flavors or versions due to its being open source makes it almost impossible to hack if the system is configured in the right way.
