The statement "It is the most popular operating system" is not necessarily true, as this can depend on the context (e.g., server vs. desktop usage). However, Linux is widely used in server environments and is very popular among developers and tech enthusiasts.

The other statements are false:

  • "It has a single version": Linux has many distributions (or "distros"), such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and CentOS, each with variations.
  • "It is not open-source": Linux is open-source software.
  • "It has limited support and compatibility": Linux has substantial support and compatibility, especially with numerous hardware platforms and software applications, although there are some proprietary software limitations compared to Windows.

None of the statements provided is true.
