What is Linux?
 Linux is an open sourced operating based on Unix.Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991.Its code was written in C language.Now its kernel code of 18 millions with version 3.18.Linux operating system is widely used in servers,mobiles,desktop pcs and in supercomputers.It is newer than Windows and OS X.
Linux is open source and it contains of distros.Distros are different in use but all share same kernel.Kernel is the part that connects hardware with software and it is the base of linux operating system.On the basis of GUI(Graphical User Interference) distros differ and they also differ in their compilation of Xorg X server (shell). There are nearly 292 disrtos and all are open source.Debian is the oldest and Ubuntu is the most popular among all.Most of distros are based on Debian and Ubuntu.

Why Linux?

Linux is open source and easily available.It is safer and easy in use.It has protection against viruses,malware and worms.Because linux code is updated every day and week so its chances of getting hacked are very low.Linux is better than windows in term of security and in terms of user experience.Most experts prefer linux on windows because of its security.Windows gives one desktop environment whereas in linux you can create your own or have many options.

Linux is also hardware freindly.It is lightweight that it can run on p4 to core i7.It requires less pc resources than that of windows.A linux based operating system can run on 512Mb of ram whereas Windows(7 and afterwards)requires ram of 1Gb minimum.

Window don't give users many options on the other hand Linux gives you options of every thing you can do with it.In Windows you are bound to Microsoft in most things whereas in Linux that is not the case you can do any thing.For example,Debian is the oldest distro of Linux and more than 100 distros are based on it.
