A process is an instance of a program, while a thread is a unit of execution within a process. Threading in Linux allows for concurrent execution.

A process is an independent entity that can be scheduled and allocated resources by the operating system.
Threads are lightweight units of execution within a process that share the same memory space.
Threading in Linux is implemented using the clone() system call.
Threads in Linux can be created using the pthread library.
Process priority in Linux is determined by the nice value, which ranges from -20 (highest priority) to 19 (lowest priority).
