Linux is the kernel. Those who try and argue that Linux is itself an operating system (compared to GNU/Linux) don't know shit, or don't even know what a kernel is. If Linux was an OS, then Android would be called a Linux OS. But Android is only based on the Linux kernel whereas RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. are all based on GNU/Linux. If you don't know what the difference is between the two then you can just stfu

Linux is an operating system, it's not even unix it's unix-like/nix therefore it only follows certain aspects of UNIX whereas other operating systems in the family such as OSX completely adapt around the UNIX model itself.
This thread is simply asking whether or not people think there will be a new OS in the near future , it's not asking for a full discussion on the entire history of operating systems. You wouldn't say "Oh, this game is supported on UNIX".

Right but that's not the point he's trying to prove, linux is a kernel. If you disagree with that, you're high.

"in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel".Calling Linux an operating system just shows your lack of understanding on the subject. Can I go and buy a laptop, completely wipe the hard drive and install the supposed Linux operating system on it? No. I could install a GNU/Linux operating system or an operating system based off of the Linux kernel, but I cannot install "the" Linux operating system because no such thing exists.

So since you're saying all UNIX based "operating systems" aren't actually operating systems, instead they are all the UNIX operating system, are both BSD and solaris not operating systems to you either?

Also, btw you pretty much went against your own argument an hour before you first posted in this thread complaining about using the "linux OS" term.

For clarification purposes, I used to do a lot of low-level C++ so to my knowledge a:
Kernel - A prime component of an OS that is used to access the hardware and preform other low-level operations, so you will encounter functions such as "ReadProcessMemory" & "WriteProcessMemory".
OS (Operating System) - The software that manages the Kernel, along with many other processes such as Networking, Security, User Interface, Other.
I think 1 of you are mistaken, for the "GNU/Linux" (which is a bad name btw) for that is an Operating System, but the "Linux Kernel" is another project of it's own which happens contain the word "Linux". Get the confusion? However the "Linux OS" does use the "Linux Kernel".

Re-quote my statement because it's been updated, also, he does have you on what I would call a technicality.
The lack of specification does NOT mean someone is incorrect, so shut the fuck up, you.

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