Difference between Linux and Genode

1. Linux :
Linux is a group of open source Unix-like operating systems which was developed by Linus Torvalds. It is a packaged of Linux distribution. Some of the mostly used Linux distribution are Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu. It was basically written in C language and assembly language. Kernel used in Linux is Monolithic kernel. The target systems of Linux distributions are cloud computing, embedded systems, mobile devices, personal computers, servers, mainframe computers and supercomputers. The first version of Linux was launched in 1991. The most recent version of Linux for personal computers is 5.6 (kernel).

2. Genode :
Genode is a free and open-source operating system which is provided by Genode Labs. It consists of a microkernel abstraction layer and a collection of user space components. It can be used as a basis for a personal computer operating systems or as a virtual machine monitor for guest operating systems. It is mainly designed for desktops, embedded systems and servers. The first version of Genode was launched in 2008. The latest stable version of Genode is 19.05.
