What is the structure of Linux?

Linux has a layered structure –

• Hardware - the CPU, RAM, mouse, the keyboard is the hardware
• Kernel - contains device drivers and handles resource allocation, acts as an interface between the hardware and the operating system.
• The standard library of procedures – termed as libc, allows the user to communicate with the kernel.
• User applications and standard utilities – the commands for various tasks like computing, modifying files or taking backups, etc.
