| Linux est le nom couramment donné à tout système d'exploitation libre fonctionnant avec le noyau Linux. C'est une implémentation libre du système UNIX respectant les spécifications POSIX. Ce système est né de la rencontre entre le mouvement du logiciel libre et le modèle de développement collaboratif et décentralisé via Internet. Son nom vient du créateur du noyau Linux, Linus Torvalds. La Free Software Foundation préfère utiliser le nom GNU/Linux, ce qui a conduit à une certaine controverse.Les systèmes basés sur Linux sont majoritaires pour les super-ordinateurs et les smartphones. Sur les serveurs informatiques, le marché est partagé avec les autres Unix et Windows. Il est largement utilisé comme système embarqué dans les appareils électroniques : télévision, modem, GPS, etc. Il reste en revanche utilisé par une minorité des ordinateurs personnels de bureau, sa plate-forme d'origine, bien que cela tende à augmenter.Le système avec toutes ses applications est distribué sous la forme de distributions Linux comme Slackware, Debian ou Red Hat Enterprise Linux. |

| Linux ( () LEEN-uuks or LIN-uuks) is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. Popular Linux distributions include Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu. Commercial distributions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Desktop Linux distributions include a windowing system such as X11 or Wayland, and a desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE Plasma. Distributions intended for servers may omit graphics altogether, or include a solution stack such as LAMP. Because Linux is freely redistributable, anyone may create a distribution for any purpose. Linux was originally developed for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture, but has since been ported to more platforms than any other operating system. Because of the dominance of Android on smartphones, Linux also has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems. Although it is used by only around 2.3 percent of desktop computers, the Chromebook, which runs the Linux kernel-based Chrome OS, dominates the US K–12 education market and represents nearly 20 percent of sub-$300 notebook sales in the US. Linux is the leading operating system on servers (over 96.4% of the top 1 million web servers' operating systems are Linux), leads other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and is the only OS used on TOP500 supercomputers (since November 2017, having gradually eliminated all competitors). Linux also runs on embedded systems, i.e. devices whose operating system is typically built into the firmware and is highly tailored to the system. This includes routers, automation controls, smart home technology (like Google Nest), televisions (Samsung and LG Smart TVs use Tizen and WebOS, respectively), automobiles (for example, Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Toyota all rely on Linux), digital video recorders, video game consoles, and smartwatches. The Falcon 9's and the Dragon 2's avionics use a customized version of Linux. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open-source software collaboration. The source code may be used, modified and distributed—commercially or non-commercially—by anyone under the terms of its respective licenses, such as the GNU General Public License. |
