You really do deserve that community award.

By "it is referred to as an OS for simplicity sake.", I am referring to services which offer multi-platform applications etc.

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 many GNU developers who contributed to the project.

Just stop trying. You have no background with Linux, no one agrees with you, and it took you 3 hours just to comprehend that there is a difference between the kernel and the operating system.

If you disagree with calling the entire OS Linux then why don't you go complain to all of the online services which name it Linux for simplicity sake when offering multi-platform apps? Obviously there's a lot of contributions to the project, that doesn't make it necessary to include all of them when stating what services are available on. There's a right place and a right time to use different terms.

I use Linux quite often actually lol and I've been saying the same thing from the start regarding the kernel/OS differences.

How many times do I have to repeat myself before you stop crying? I stated the answer on previous pages shortly before you pretty much copied my words.

The kernel itself is Linux. The distributions are the operating system, which uses the Linux kernel.

I pretty much said that?

The kernel itself is Linux

The kernel would be the source

The distributions are the operating system, which uses the Linux kernel.

I am using the "Linux operating system" to describe Linux distributions as an whole which run the Linux kernel

Like I said before, calling linux an OS is just traditional slang.

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? You stated it already:

You can't just download the Linux OS.

If you can't download, install, run it and have complete user space, then it is not an operating system by any standards.

How many times do I have to repeat myself before you stop crying? I stated the answer on previous pages shortly before you pretty much copied my words.

You gave up previously and finally conceded that YOU were calling it wrong. Then a day later you go back to your same argument in equating the kernel with the operating system.

Actually a lot of large organisations refer to it as Linux, lol.

Yes by "source" I am refering to the kernel as that is the source of Linux which I have also previously shared.

No I didn't give up at any point, lol? I've been saying the SAME thing since the start when you started the argument, you just didn't see it as you were so much up your own ass you couldn't care to read what I had wrote. Linux is the kernel but is sometimes referred to as an OS by some.

"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 like you suffer from cognitive dissonance.

You calling it an OS is the reason people think that it is actually an operating system when all it is is 'a minuscule component of the complete system' (that is nearly word for word what Linus wrote). Tell me, what compiles the Linux kernel? Who created it?

Many people refer to it as an OS even though it is the kernel itself, you think i'm the only one lol? I'm not the one arguing, you keep replying to this post when we are clearly saying the same thing.

Because you didn't originally say this, you originally stated that Linux itself is an OS.

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 would take you.

Yes, I was referring to it as an OS in simple terms even though it is the kernel as there's too much variation involved and it is much simpler to say it is an OS.

That isn't correct and in my case there's valid reason to as why I referred to it as an OS.

There's probably a lot of people that know Linux is the kernel but still refer to it as an OS, just because it's much simpler and acceptable for most cases. If you were to have a discussion on the technical sides of it then yes you probably wouldn't call it an OS, like I said it depends on the place.

The original thread was asking if users though there'd be a new major OS in the future, I stated that the major ones were "Windows, Linux, and OSX" within this thread as it seemed to be acceptable in that manner and was on topic. If this thread was initially created separately then it would have probably been a lot more acceptable to refer to it as a kernel as it would be the right place.

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 system is invalid, you finally conceded that you were using the wrong terminology. Then a few days later, you go back to calling Linux an OS. Then a few minutes later, you post this:

"It's not technically an OS".

You flip-flop more than political candidates. We already know you're going to respond with some disingenuous post, but the fact of the matter is you know Linux is not an OS (in your own words), yet you continue to call it an OS. It doesn't matter if less informed people call it an OS. You call it an OS when you know it's not.

Since you were saying I was wrong for calling Linux an OS, I replied and said I had used that as a simple term to describe it. Linux isn't an OS in technical terms, however it may sometimes be referred to as an OS in simple terms where a technical discussion isn't necessary.

After numerous people tried to make you understand that calling the kernel an operating system is invalid, you finally conceded that you were using the wrong terminology. Then a few days later, you go back to calling Linux an OS.

I already understand what Linux is. I never conceded that I was using incorrect terminology, I've been discussing it from both points of view since you continued to comment on it from the thread separation.

 

[Ecko]

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.

Linux is a kernel but most commonly known as an "OS" by many. I obviously do know what I'm talking about, I've stated that Linux is the kernel but most people know it as an OS.

In technical terms Linux is a kernel, yes calling it otherwise would obviously be incorrect but that's not the point.

There are many distributions which run the Linux kernel, rather than going into detail, it's much easier to state it as a Linux OS.
