The Linux operating system is a multi-user, multitasking, andDOS compatible operating system. Its architecture is a microkernel type, which means that the core of the operating system is a small set of software that manages the system’s hardware resources, and that applications can be built on top of this kernel. This modular design makes Linux very flexible, and allows for a wide range of customization.<\/p>\n

There are a few ways to determine the architecture of a Linux system. The most common way is to use the uname command. This command will return information about the system, including the architecture. For example, uname -m will return “x86_64” on a 64-bit system.<\/p>\n

Another way to determine the architecture is to look at the \/proc\/cpuinfo file. This file contains information about the CPU, including the architecture. For example, on a 64-bit system, it will contain the line “cpu family : 6”.<\/p>\n

Finally, you can also use the getconf command. This command will return the value of a specific CONFIG option. For example, getconf LONG_BIT will return 64 on a 64-bit system.<\/p>\n

How do I know if my Linux is x86 or x64? <\/h2>\n
