I've heard that a lot of people are using Linux as an operating system. What is Linux and why is it better than Windows?

Well, Linux is a free and open source software operating system. It’s based on Unix, which was developed in the late 1960s at AT&T Bell Labs. The first version of Unix was called UNIX System III, but later versions were renamed to UNIX System V. The original developers of Unix wanted to create a single operating system for all computers, so they created a standard way to write programs and shared libraries. This made it easier for programmers to write programs for different types of computers.
