Exploring Linux Fundamentals (June 11)
Linux architecture
Kernel: Kernel is the core of the Linux-based operating system. It virtualizes the common hardware resources of the computer to provide each process with its virtual resources. This makes the process seem as if it is the sole process running on the machine. The kernel is also responsible for preventing and mitigating conflicts between different processes. Different types of the kernel are:
Monolithic Kernel
Hybrid kernels
Exo kernels
Micro kernels
System Library: Isthe special types of functions that are used to implement the functionality of the operating system.
Shell: It is an interface to the kernel which hides the complexity of the kernel’s functions from the users. It takes commands from the user and executes the kernel’s functions.
Hardware Layer: This layer consists all peripheral devices like RAM/ HDD/ CPU etc.
System Utility: It provides the functionalities of an operating system to the user.

Linux hands-on
basic commands for creating files and displaying it
Remaining my picture and then copy to the folder and moved the whole folder back
you can mv a folder without using -r (when using the mv command to move a folder, it automatically performs a recursive move by default) but for copying a folder you have to use -r.
for creating multiple files and folder and removing it
The same goes for the folder but when you remove a folder you have to "-r " which means recursive to remove files inside the folder
