Traditionally in /usr/src/linux.
Linux is an operating system, like Windows, that runs on the Linux Kernel, which is based off of UNIX.
The source code for the Linux kernel is hosted at kernel.org.
Linux is an open source Kernel a key element in any operating system responsible amongst other things for managing memory. A Linux distribution is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, there are many Linux distributions. Please reword the question.
Richard Stallman intended GNU to be a full-fledged operating system, but without a kernel, he couldn't do it. At least until he discovered Linus Torvalds' Linux kernel, thus the GNU/Linux (or GNU+Linux) operating system was born.As far as open-source projects are involved, both are open-source projects. And you don't have to only use the Linux kernel with GNU, as there's the GNU/Hurd project, and then the ever-popular Android (runs on a modified Linux kernel, the remaining are developed by Google)
Because they aren't organized the same way, there is no direct equivalent directory to System32 in Linux. The kernel image in Linux is typically stored in /boot, the system binaries are stored in /bin, and libraries are stored /lib and /usr/lib.
The Linux kernel.
The Linux kernel is the central component of the GNU/Linux operating system. The kernel is the lowest level of interaction between the hardware and the operating system. Individual applications are at a higher level. The kernel along with supporting applications make up the operating system.
These are separate and unrelated tasks. To check the version of the running kernel in Linux, use the command uname -r. To upgrade the kernel, either use your distro's package manager (if any) to update the system, or download and compile the Linux kernel source.
The Linux kernel and the many off-shoot operating system distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and so on) are classed as open source and have nothing to do with Microsoft.
Linux is just the kernel. If you combine utilities that were made as a result of the GNU project with the linux kernel, you get GNU Linux, which is considered as a complete operating system
It means that Linux is a kernel for Linux-based operating systems. In the strictest sense, Linux itself is only the kernel, however I tend to view it as a full operating system core due to how most kernel spece works (Which tends to include not just the kernel, but most device drivers.).
Linux is an operating system kernel. Microsoft is a software company that amongst other things produces operating systems. They are totally different things.Linux is not a corporation, it is an open source kernel. Microsoft is a corporation that produces computer software, mostly closed-source. Linux is maintained and developed by volunteers at the Linux Foundation.
