# Part 1: Linux chu enge? Windows nen enge a danglam na?

Linux chu kan sawi tawh ang khan open-source kernel a ni a. Kernel hna thawh ber chu kan computer software leh hardware inbiak pawh na atana thawk palai ani mai ang chu. A hardware chu kan duh duh ani theia, Laptop emaw, Personal Computer (PC) pangai emaw pawh a ni thei. Linux operating system hi a load a zang em em a, computer/laptop hlui tawh tak tak ah te pawh an install fo thin (Windows a zawh tawh thin loh vangin). Linux tih ringawt hian a kernel chauh a sawina a ni a, a operating system chu duh aia tam thlan tur a awm a, kha lam chu nakinah kan la sawi chhunzawm ang. Chumi operating system hrang hrang te chu distro emaw distribution an ti mai thin. Linux hi open-source ani tih kan sawi tawh ang khan an thupui chu "Mi tin tan Chanchin Tha" tih ang deuh khan mi tin tan a thlawn a hman theih leh an duh dan anga siam danglam theih tura duan a ni a. A hmangtu mipui (Community) hian an enkawl ani deuh ber mai. Entir nan: Tu emawni khan a computer hman lai ah khan an program dan diklo (bug) eng emaw lo hmu ta se, a va report theia, anih loh pawn aman a siam (fix) theih chuan request a va siam anga a fix dan tur ava hmuh anga, a enkawltu dang ten a tha leh dik nia an hriat chuan kha pa siamthat (fix) dan tur alo suggest kha an pawn (approve) mai anga.

# Part 2: Linux chu install ve duh ta ila engtin nge?

# Ngatinge Linux chu ka hman ang?

Linux hman nawm em em nachhan pakhat chu kan distribution duh duh kan thlang thei hi ani. Windows nen bawk han khaikhin leh thin ila, Windows chu chi khat chiah a awma, version hrang hrang a awm ani maia. Linux erawh chu distribution hrang hrang hi mi hrang hrang in an siama, i hman duh dan leh hman nuam i tih dan a zirin i distribution (distro) duh duh i install tawh mai dawn ani. Linux la install ngai miah lo i nih chuan Ubuntu 22.04 leh PopOS 22.04 te hi ka kawh hmuh hmsa ber ang che u. A awlsam a, hmang tantir tan chuan mamawh tlangpui chu a awm bawk.
