The word “Linux” was chosen because Torvalds wanted a name that was short, easy to remember, and not already in use. The name “Linux” comes from the Linux kernel, originally written in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Commonly used applications with a GUI include the web browsers Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera, the email client Evolution, and the office suite LibreOffice. Linux distributions include the Linux kernel, supporting utilities and libraries, a large amount of application software to fulfill the distribution’s intended use, and usually a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration and operation. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.
