Linux distribution
Linux distribution
A Linux distribution (often shortened to distro) is an operating system made from a collection of software, including the Linux kernel and often a package of GNU system software and libraries. For the end user, a Linux distribution is essentially the complete operating system they install and interact with, which makes the underlying kernel and other free software usable.
Distributions are developed by various projects and companies to serve different purposes and user needs. They bundle the core components of Linux (like the kernel), shell, init system, command-line tools) with additional software such as a package manager, software repositories, system libraries, utilities, and often a Desktop environment or a set of server applications.
The existence of many different distributions is due to the flexible and open-source nature of Linux. Anyone can take the source code for the kernel and other free software, customize it, and bundle it into their own distribution tailored for specific hardware, use cases, or user preferences.
