To start this story about Linux we would like to define, in simple lines, what Linux and its properties would be. Linux is an operating system, much like any other operating system but with a dose of uniqueness, that is based on the research and development model of custom free and open source software, as well as flexible market movement. This system was designed to be free from the first time it was created and published. It just so happened that Intel x86-based PCs were the attractive shell for its market. Time passed and Linux continued to develop on many new levels and what we can see now is a simple reflection of its previous success. As a result, it has been used on more hardware platforms than other commercial systems, making it the number one server operating system. What is also related to the fact that it is widely used is information about its productivity and reliability when it comes to supporting mainframes and supercomputers. Related to this we can say that the last year 2013 had a situation where top-notch supercomputers ranging from 1 to 500 were stocked with work on some variation of Linux. This adjustable system has proven itself worthy of surpassing machines previously adapted for the specific type of system desired by their creator. Linux has “infiltrated” the market for tablets, phones, network routers, TVs, game consoles and much more, proving that it can be a perfect replacement for the original system installed in those types of hardware. Linux is also, if not a replacement, a basis for creating other types of consumer interactive systems used in the previously mentioned hardware foundations, such as Android. Linux is the number one example and the main reference when it comes to......middle of paper......unique groups of users. The Linux kernel actually pushed many users of other operating systems to try Linux because of the compatibility with their machines and systems previously installed on many different devices. Linux and major applications coexist in a world of perfect balance. Applications like Mozilla Firefox or OpenOffice work perfectly on Linux and other operating systems. To be sure, a vast number of applications used by the operating system are mainly developed on Linux due to its type of cross-functional module. Linux has a bright future shining on that operating system due to the compatibility and user-oriented environment that supports continuous changes and improvisations, so that applications and usage of Linux with its variants can be found in every segment of the current and future exploitation of the PC. and other “smart” machines intended to be supported by Linux.
