How is that so hard for you to understand?

Depends what you're talking about.
Kernel? Linux. OS? GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux, or simply GNU.

>>59829736
See >>59829717

Its whatever the distro maintainers want to call it. Arch Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc... The official software repos are what make the OS.

Linux is powered by waifus, not by the GNU meme project

wow. who gnu.

>>59829690
The operating system interacts directly with the hardware, providing common services to programs and insulating them from hardware idiosyncrasies. Viewing the system as a set of layers, the operating system is commonly called the system kernel, or just the kernel, emphasizing its isolation from user programs. Because programs are independent of the underlying hardware, it is easy to move them between UNIX systems running on different hardware if the programs do not make assumptions about the underlying hardware.

just Linux

gnu represents the politics.
linux represents the technical aspects.

If someone say they use linux, or uses an application that works on linux, then they are referring to the technical aspects of the system.

If someone says they use gnu/linux, they are saying they use free software and the system they use are in relation to the free software movement.

Let's look at the definition of OS:
>the software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals.

Linux does all of those. Linux is an OS.

>executing applications
If "Linux" is responsible for that, wouldn't that imply that GNU/Linux and Android applications are interchangeable?

>>59833980
No?

Are the coreutils not a set of applications Linux executes?

wtf i hate stallman now

Linux
Reminder that shitty utilities do not make an OS.
Reminder that a compiler does not make an OS.

The Kernel is The OS.
GRUB is effectively considered an OS.

If i had Linux but used only BSD utilities that does not make it BSD\Linux. That makes it Linux with BSD Utilities. Same as for GNU\Linux.

If i replaced MS-DOS's utilities with FreeDOSes Utilities, it doesn't become FreeDOS, nor is it FreeDos\MS-DOS... it becomes MS-DOS with freedos utilities.

This isn't a hard concept to grasp, if your head wasn't filled with toejam and pointless bash scripts and Emacs Lisp, you'd understand this common sense
