How simple you can explain what's GNU, Linux, distros, etc,

>>61416553
Things that are irrelevant.

>>61416553
Linux is a barren OS
GNU is a bunch of shit some people wrote to make an OS
distros combine the two

taking liberties but it gets the point across fine

>>61416553
Install Gentoo

>>61416553
>Linux
an operating system like windows or osx
>GNU
a set of tools used to do allow common stuff like copying files in operating systems like linux
>distros
one of several ways somebody has gathered the stuff for installing linux in one place so that it is easy for a user to do so, the distributor possibly having made choices in which looks or default programs to include, as well as possibly having a distro-specific app-store.

Linux is like an electric drill, GNU is the drill bits, distros are like a drill + bits kit. A drill without bits does nothing, but if you can't fit the bits to a drill, you can't use them. So it's easier to just get a set with both drill and drill bits.

You come up with a better explanation then

>>61416553
Linux is Lego, distros are all Lego kits.

Some kits come with more pieces preinstalled than others.

One kit may be a decked-out castle that requires a lot of space and is complicated to manage.

One kit may be a race car that's smaller and more easily maintained.

Core.
> GNU
Bare minimum tools used in conjunction with a kernel to provide a basic DOS-like functionality for it.
> distros
Different operating systems built on GNU + Linux foundation.

Et cetera, And so on: used to note that the rest of a list or piece of information has been left out on the assumption that it is similar or already known.

Also there's GNU GPL, a license which defines that if a programmer used a GPL-licensed code in his program (and I mean inside it, not as a separate module which his software can call), he must provide the source code of his software to its users.

GnU is software that is free and lets you review it, share it with someone else and modify or pay someone to modify it if you want to.

Linux is just an OS within GNU and distroa are just versions of Linux made by different people since they can modify it and share it with other people.

Dont even worry yourself about such things anon, linux was designed primarily for neckbeard cucks that sit inside on sunny days attempting to find uses for their Pi's, creating thinkpad guides and attempting to defend the need for 32gb of ram.
