You are wrong for calling Linux an OS. In your own words you state Linux is not in OS. In simple terms it's not an OS. Linux is simply a kernel. You claim you know what you're talking about, but this thread is evidence against that.

Then why, after this thread had already been split, would you go back and say in simplest terms Linux is the OS (which it is not)? I mean the thread was split for a reason, to discuss if Linux is an OS. After numerous people tried to make you understand that calling the kernel an operating...

So because other who people who don't know what they're talking about call it that, you think it's OK for you to do the same, especially after the fact that you know it is not? Shit, if only you were alive in the 70's and were invited to Jonestown, Guyana you'd see how far that kind of reasoning...

"It's not technically an OS". So stop calling it one. Pretty simple. Just because other ignorant people do, you somehow think that it is OK to purposefully misstate something. I don't know why you're even arguing anymore. You literally know it's not an OS yet you go on calling it an OS. It's...

AKA people like you who don't know anything. And calling it just Linux is an affront to the numerous developers who contributed much more than just the kernel. Considering you called it the "source", I highly doubt you know what you are talking about. You know why you can't call Linux an OS...

If you knew anything about Linux or taken an OS class before then you'd know that those services are mainly run by source code provided by GNU. About 90% of a Linux based operating system is GNU code. 10% would be the Linux kernel. Calling the entire OS Linux is just a slap in the face to the...

No, in simple terms Linux is a kernel. There are operating systems based around this kernel. The kernel is a very small portion of the operating system and is nothing really without the GNU portions (this is direct from the creator of the Linux kernel). People who have no knowledge on the...

that's pretty much my currently build with a lesser watt PS and much more expensive

Or you simply failed to understand what 6 other users were telling you.

The kernel itself is Linux. The distributions are the operating system, which uses the Linux kernel. Suggest reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346260&p=8442352#post8442352

Someone just doesn't understand the difference between a kernel and an OS

root@autobots [~]# uname Linux root@autobots [~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.7 (Final) Do you see the difference?

go read the man page on uname, then tell me what the command uname returns in shell

gg

what even is this post? you talking about my job? because my field is not meant for inexperienced kids such as yourself. they don't hire someone without a minimum of 6 years experience in a very specific role

please come on irc.rizon.net #linux or irc.freenode.net #linux and use the same logic you have used here. i'll be happy if rms happens to be on so he can tell you you're a fucking idiot. you're a joke, go an hero it's been 5 minutes, have you decided to learn another programming language?

a linux OS vs the linux OS. calling Linux itself an OS is simply invalid. GNU would be the operating system there genius boy

you're an idiot. if there's the linux OS, link me to it then
