Linux is an open-source operating system developed by Linus Torvalds, available for free and runs on various platforms. It offers advantages over Windows, such as multiple distribution options, better development capabilities, and reduced vulnerability to malware. The demand for embedded Linux engineers is growing as more companies adopt Linux for product design, reflected in devices like smartphones and smart TVs.

1. INTRODUCTION TO LINUX

2. • Linux is open source operating system.
• It was developed from UNIX by Linus Torvalds.
• One can use linux os free of cost unlike window.

5. SCOPE
• There is a vast market for embedded linux engineer.
• Now a days a lots of companies are moving their product design to linux.
• It is because of free and opensource nature of linux and also there is a vast
community support along with continuous development.

6. EXAMPLES
• Just look in your house, and you will be amazed to see that some of the high
end product what you are using is based on embedded linux os.
