C with Linux

• System-Level Access: Direct interaction with hardware and system resources via system calls.
• Portability: Write code that runs on various Linux distributions with minimal changes.
• Efficiency: High performance and low memory overhead, suitable for embedded and real-time systems.
• Open Source Tools: Availability of GCC, GDB, make, and cmake for development and debugging.
• Linux Kernel Development: Foundation for creating modules, drivers, and operating system components.
