Nup, it's just a kernel.

Linux = kernel.

But this is about Linux.

I thought Linux was the kernel…

I bet the author heard that "Linux is the kernel" and thinks the two terms are interchangeable.

Well, if you want to be precise … Linux is a kernel.

Nevermind, I thought this was about the Linux kernel.

The article talks about Linux.

Not sure if I'm missing the obvious sarcasm but Linux is kernel, not OS.

raverbashing | karma 22421 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2017-06-20 16:16:44+00:00

Yes, Linux is the Linux Kernel in this context (in kernel.org)

Title should mention it's about linux.

rgoulter | karma 3152 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2019-07-22 16:36:04+00:00

No, Linux is the kernel. What you're referring to is etc.

> "GNU/Linux" is the OS, "Linux" is just the kernel.

It's great we're talking about the kernel codebase then!

LukeShu | karma 6759 | avg karma 4.09 · | 2019-01-22 14:03:45+00:00

Linux is the kernel. The rest of it is... not Linux. It's almost like RMS had a point with the rant that he gets mocked for.
