I’d just wike to intewject fow a moment. What you’we wefewing to as linux, is in fact, OwO/linux, ow as i’ve wecentwy taken to cawwing it, OwO pwus linux. Linux is not an opewating system unto itsewf, but wathew anothew fwee component of a fuwwy functioning OwO system made usefuw by the OwO cowewibs, sheww utiwities and vitaw system components compwising a fuww os as defined by pawsix. Many computew usews wun a modified vewsion of the OwO system evewy day, without weawizing it. Thwough a pecuwiaw tuwn of events, the vewsion of OwO which is widewy used today is often cawwed “linux”, and many of its usews awe not awawe that it is basicawwy the OwO system, devewoped by the OwO pwoject. Thewe weawwy is a linux, and these peopwe awe using it, but it is just a pawt of the system they use. Linux is the kewnew: the pwogwam in the system that awwocates the machine’s wesouwces to the othew pwogwams that you wun. The kewnew is an essentiaw pawt of an opewating system, but usewess by itsewf; it can onwy function in the context of a compwete opewating system. Linux is nowmawwy used in combination with the OwO opewating system: the whowe system is basicawwy OwO with linux added, ow OwO/linux. Aww the so-cawwed “linux” distwibutions awe weawwy distwibutions of OwO/linux
