Introduction to Unix

Unix, developed in the late 1960s by AT&T's Bell Labs, is the operating system that paved the way for modern computing environments, especially open-source ecosystems. Its fundamental design, emphasizing simplicity, modularity, portability, and reusability, shaped the landscape of operating systems like Linux, which embodies many Unix principles. In fact, while Linux is not technically Unix (it’s Unix-like), it’s often considered part of the “Unix family” due to its adherence to these core design principles.
