Linux is one of the popular Operating System in this world. Almost all the companies use Linux for their servers because Linux provides better performance than competitive Operating Systems. Linux has one main powerful tool called Terminal which lets the user execute commands. With terminal commands, you can do almost anything. You can also create a matrix like an effect in the terminal. The exact working of the terminal is complex but in simple words, it takes user input from the keyboard and passes it to the OS.
