What is Linux?

Linux is an operating system for computers – an alternative to the Windows or Mac OS that may already exist on your computer. However, the main difference is that Linux is open source, which means that the source code (the language that the operating system is written in) is publicly available for inspection and even improvement. This means that Linux and its programs can be distributed freely for everyone to enjoy!
