In Linux, drivers are categorized based on the type of device or functionality they manage. 

* The device driver types are:

    * [Character Device](https://linux-kernel-labs.github.io/refs/heads/master/labs/device_drivers.html)

    * [Block Device](https://linux-kernel-labs.github.io/refs/heads/master/labs/block_device_drivers.html)

    * [Network Device](https://linux-kernel-labs.github.io/refs/heads/master/labs/networking.html)

* Other Drivers

    * File System Drivers

    * Virtual Drivers

    * Platform Drivers

    * Pseudo Drivers

    * User-Space Drivers
