Understanding and definition of Linux (What is linux?)

Open Source Full | Maybe there who do not know what the definition of linux or linux? Gini day have not know the sense of linux? Wah severe, calm banak friend ko, haha. Deh enough kidding around, just ya who do not know linux understanding briefly explain. But before I explain what it is linux, I explain first what is the operating system.
A computer without an operating system will not meet basic human needs. Because it made the operating system. In general, the Operating System software is the first layer that is placed on a computer's memory when the computer starts.

Now go into linux understanding. What is it linux? Let me copy and paste understanding linux from wikipedia Indonesia:

Linux (pronounced lɪnəks or / lɪnʊks /) is the name given to the Unix computer operating system. Linux is one example of the development of free software and open source primary.

That he linux from wikipedia. If me, Linux is a Unix-type operating system and licensed open source or shared source code. So linux be edited by anyone. It is an excess of linux. Because the Linux open source a lot of the developer.

Software linux and windows of course different. Just because its base is different. So do not think that has Windows software can be used on Linux. But calm because there is software on linux or windows emulator called wine. If you want to know how do you see it deh aja. Then how to install linux software varies.
