# What is Linux and Why Use It?
If you are reading this, you are probably using either Windows or macOS on your computer. These are both [operating systems](/glossary#operating-system-os), which is the system software that runs your device. They're also both "closed-source", which means that the software's "*source* code" is not available (*closed*) to the public, so it can't be audited for privacy and security. Windows and macOS computers send your data to Microsoft and Apple, and you can't trust their [full-disk encryption](/glossary#full-disk-encryption-fde) to protect your data if the computer is [physically accessed](/glossary/#physical-attacks) (like after a [house raid](https://www.csrc.link/threat-library/techniques/house-raid.html)).

Linux is a set of operating systems that are [open-source](/glossary#open-source), which means that the *source* code can be analyzed by anyone. Linux is the name given to the core (**kernel**) of the operating system, and many different **distributions** (or 'distros') are based on it. Simply put, *Linux is the only type of computer that anarchists can trust*.
