A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, access to the peripherals, and file systems.

It has been made popular by its use in Linux distributions, but it is used by other Unix-like systems as well. [ 1] It is maintained by the Linux Foundation. The latest version is 3.0, released on 3 June 2015.
Unix filesystem. In Unix and operating systems inspired by it, the file system is considered a central component of the operating system. [ 1] It was also one of the first parts of the system to be designed and implemented by Ken Thompson in the first experimental version of Unix, dated 1969. [ 2]
A Linux distribution[ a] (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection that includes the Linux kernel and often a package management system. They are often obtained from the website of each distribution, which are available for a wide variety of systems ranging from embedded devices (for example, OpenWrt ...

On many computers, directories are known as folders, or drawers, [ 1] analogous to a workbench or the traditional office filing cabinet. The name derives from books like a telephone directory that ...
Unlike other operating systems, Linux and Unix allow any file system regardless of the medium it is stored on, whether that medium is a magnetic disk, an optical disk (CD, DVD, etc.), a USB flash memory key, or even contained within a file located on another file system.
