[QUOTE="BIOS, post: 367217, member: 15674"] 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. [/QUOTE]
