00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:20,670
Let us start a new section in this section, will the complete testing lab for you?

2
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:22,980
Let's start with the lecture.

3
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:27,960
In this lecture, we are going to see introduction to Linux operating system.

4
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:35,900
From smartphones to cars, from home appliances to supercomputers, from home desktops to enterprise

5
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:39,080
servers, the Linux operating system is everywhere.

6
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:46,370
Linux has been around since the mid 1990s and has since reached a user base that spans the globe.

7
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:54,860
Linux is actually everywhere, its phones, your thermostats in your cars, refrigerators and televisions.

8
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,360
It also runs most of the Internet, all of the world's top 500 supercomputers and the world's all the

9
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,550
stock exchanges use the Linux.

10
00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:08,240
But besides being the platform of choice to run the desktops.

11
00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:15,200
Linux is one of the most reliable, secure and very free operating system that is available in today's

12
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:15,410
world.

13
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:16,970
So what is Linux?

14
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:22,850
Linux is an operating system or kernel distributor and an open source license.

15
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:25,640
Its functionality is quite like Unix.

16
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:31,070
The kernel is a program at the heart of the Linux operating system that takes care of the fundamental

17
00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:37,580
stuff, like letting hardware communicate with the software Linux operating system or the kernel with

18
00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:44,060
germinated as an idea in the mind of young and bright, a person named Linus Torvalds when he was a

19
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:51,380
computer science student, just like Windows, iOS and Mac OS, Linux is an operating system, in fact

20
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,020
one of the most powerful platforms on the planet.

21
00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:59,770
To put it simply, the operating system manages the communication between the software and your of it.

22
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,620
The Linux operating system comprises several different pieces that bootloader kernel in its systems

23
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,420
Damons graphical servers, NextG environments and applications.

24
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,910
Linux has evolved into one of the most reliable ecosystems on the planet that combines reliability with

25
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:19,220
the zero cost of entry.

26
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,480
And you have the perfect solution for every desktop platform.

27
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,540
That's right.

28
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:29,210
Zero cost of entry, as in free Linux, the free open source operating system.

29
00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:35,150
You can install Linux on as many computers you want without paying not a single penny.

30
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:42,920
Linux now enjoys popularity at its prime, and it's famous among the programmers as well as a regular

31
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,690
computer users around the world.

32
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:48,620
Its main benefits are it offers a free operating system.

33
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:54,440
You just do not have to shell hundreds of dollars to get OS like Windows being open source.

34
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:57,680
Anyone with prior programming knowledge can modified.

35
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,240
The Linux operating system now offers millions of programmers applications to choose from which are

36
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,200
most free.

37
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:10,700
Once you have installed Linux, you no longer need an antivirus.

38
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:13,040
Linux is a highly secure system.

39
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:19,250
More so there is a global development community constantly looking at ways to enhance its security.

40
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,870
With each upgrade, the operating system becomes more secure and robust.

41
00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:30,050
Linux is the also of the choice for server environments, the stability and reliability.

42
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,780
Mega companies like Amazon, Facebook and Google use Linux for the servers.

43
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:45,200
A Linux server could run non-stop reboot for years to end, but users who are new to Linux usually shun

44
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,410
it falsely, considering it as a difficult and technical OS to operate but to state the truth.

45
00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:57,740
In the last few years, Linux operating system have become a lot more user friendly than their counterparts,

46
00:03:58,010 --> 00:03:58,760
like Windows.

47
00:03:59,210 --> 00:04:03,410
So trying them is the best way to know whether Linux suits you or not.

48
00:04:04,170 --> 00:04:11,030
There are thousands of Linux based operating systems, most of them of a state of the art, security

49
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:13,670
and applications, and all of them are free.

50
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:20,260
In the next lecture, we'll see the overview of Kali Linux operating system.
