Linux | Ocular Motor Skills

Linux is a family of open-source, Unix-like operating systems built around the Linux kernel. It's not a single OS but a kernel that forms the core of countless "distributions" (distros), which bundle the kernel with system software, libraries, and applications to create complete operating systems. Originally conceived as a free alternative to Unix, Linux is now a dominant force in servers, cloud computing, embedded systems, and even desktops, often packaged by companies like [[red-hat|Red Hat]] and [[canonical-ltd|Canonical]] or community projects like [[debian|Debian]]. Its open-source nature, governed by the [[gnu-general-public-license|GNU General Public License (GPL)]], fosters rapid development and widespread adoption across diverse technological landscapes.
