I don’t get it. I am on sh.itjust.works and yes I see the odd Linux post, but not so many that it stands out. I am even on many tech subscriptions. This seems overblown.
Well, the kernel is Linux and the OS is whatever the distribution or special purpose is called.
There is a distinction as Linux is used in far more than operating systems and at times is run with just the kernel and an application, with no possible interface between any user and application.
Problem is that most Linux desktop users have fuck all clue what Linux is all used for and wouldn't know how to interface with 99% of all the linux running devices on the planet.
Yeah, since you can also use a different Kernel and end up with something that looks like a Linux distribution, anyone who has ever used common Linux distributions is instantly familiar with, while definitely not being Linux.
I only talk about linux when the post is about linux or about operating systems. I still get hate for it. I don’t get it and dont even bring up arch anywhere lol
It’s probably not necessarily aimed at you, but for some seen as the straw that broke the camels back because they’re overexposed to the subject and have had enough.
That being said, it’s hard to see that if you’re literally commenting on a Linux thread.
