Open source kernel that powers basically every server, Android phone, embedded device, and supercomputer.
Created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Distros: Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Arch, Alpine. Technically: kernel + GNU userland = "GNU/Linux". Desktop share is small but on servers and AI training — Linux is total.
