Before the invention of Windows and Linux, Unix had a heavy influence in the computing world. In fact, the Linux operating system is a clone of the Unix operating system. With the latest Linux trends<\/a>, the growth and demand for the Linux operating system have increased a lot. So, in this article, we will see how Linux is different from Unix i.e. Linux vs Unix. Also, we’ll compare Linux and Unix on various grounds. <\/span><\/p>\n

It all began in 1969 when AT&T developed the first portable operating system UNIX. The Unix OS was completely written in C language allowing instant modification, portability and reaching several platforms. The project run successfully under the leadership of Ken Thompson and became the widely used OS of that time. <\/span>Most of today\u2019s UNIX variants are the licensed versions and every version has its own unique features, Sun\u2019s Solaris, TBM\u2019s AIX are the most widely used variants of UNIX.<\/span><\/p>\n

Linux was built by Linus Torvalds in 1991 which was introduced to provide a free alternative to UNIX. When the GNU project was under process in 1983 which aimed to provide a free OS, LINUX was introduced. Unlike UNIX, Linux has the potential to run on several other platforms which the UNIX couldn\u2019t. They both have a common foundation but have different tools and utilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
