<p1> As we all know, Linux is a free and Open source (FOSS) operating system that can be run on any platform, whether its a regular desktop PC, webservers, minicomputers, supercomputers, robots, IoT, embedded systems, and more. Due to its free and open source nature, Linux has an insanely fast growth rate, and hundreds of thousands of global corporations are constantly contributing towards the growth of this Open-source Operating System. So, what is Linux and why it has become the leading desktop OS Choice made by the entirety of the world?</p1>

<h2> Let's dive in to the world of Linux history!</h2>
2727
<p2>In 1984, due to the rise of proprietary software operating systems, such as MS-DOS (Microsoft Windows' predecessor), and UNIX, an American hacker called Richard Stallman was frustrated, fearing that the Internet will soon be a locked down prison. For this reason, Stallman decided that it was time for a big change in the history of computing, so he founded the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and created the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) Operating System, as well as the first global Open-source license, the GNU General Public License (GPL). 7 years later, in 1991, a Finnish univeristy student called Linus Torvalds began creating the Linux kernel based on the Open-source Minix Operating System and utilized Stallman's GPL to license his newly released kernel. Soon after the release of GNU and Linux kernel, Linux was officially created, and the first two distributions, Debian and Slackware, were released in 1993. This ultimately paved the way for the foundation of multiple Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, Arch Linux, and CentOS.</p2>

<h4> Why Linux?</h4>
56-
<p4> Because thanks to the free and Open Source nature of Linux, anyone can patch and fix issues, as well as putting new features much faster than any proprietary software could do. This makes Linux much more inherently secure, performant, and faster time to develop, making it a perfect choice for everyone, from individuals to government agencies around the world, to start small, and grow big. Plus, Linux and other Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) allows the user to customize/tweak the settings to whatever else they need, ensuring they have the best experience according to their own standards.</p4>

<p6> And thanks to a wide variety of contributors, such as freebies, tech savvy experts, and multinational goverment agencies such as the UN contributing directly to the Linux kernel on popular open-source repositories like Github , Linux has become the ultimate <b>Desktop OS of Choice (DOC)</b> of the entire world. That is the main reason why Linux has now become the new <span style ="font-weight:bold">international standard</span> for developing every desktop/mobile applications, runtimes, and environments that we all have been using as of today, such as Docker, Electron.js, and MySQL.</p6>
