What you need to know about UNIX

UNIX is a multi-user and multitasking operating system, originally designed in the 1970s by AT&T Bell Labs. Known for its simplicity, modularity, and power, UNIX served as the foundation for many modern systems, such as Linux, macOS, and BSD. UNIX is based on a layered architecture, where the kernel manages hardware resources, and the upper layers provide user interfaces and software tools. It features a hierarchical file system and offers a rich collection of command-line tools enabling automation and customization of complex tasks. Primarily used in server, scientific, and development environments, UNIX is recognized for its stability, security, and portability. Its influence continues today, with its concepts and tools integrated into many modern operating systems
