Linux is freely developed and considered open source software. It is covered under this public license. When installing the latest Linux version, you can choose Red Hat, Ubuntu, GNOME or KDE distributions. Which of the choices will be common to all distributions?

Answer:

Explanation:GNOME and KDE are desktop environments for Linux, which provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for interacting with the operating system. While different Linux distributions may use different versions of these desktop environments, they are both widely used and available on most Linux distributions.

Red Hat and Ubuntu, on the other hand, are examples of different Linux distributions that use different packaging systems and have different default software configurations, although they both support GNOME and KDE.

It's worth noting that while Linux is open source software, it is actually covered by a variety of different open source licenses depending on the specific software components being used. However, the most commonly used license for the Linux kernel, which is at the core of all Linux distributions, is the GNU General Public License (GPL).
