In recent years, the movement of open-source software and on top of them Linux open-source and free operating system has attracted the attention of many specialists, governments, organizations, etc. so that the biggest software companies such as Google, Oracle, etc. stepped forward in this movement and are developing open- source software, particularly Linux.
