What is the difference between Ubuntu and Linux?
It seems in Ubuntu I have to type a shitload of code just to install things, is Linux like this as well? I never had to do that in Windows.
I mean, Ubuntu is Linux as well, isn't it? What's the difference? Is it basically just a version of Linux?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Do you guys prefer Ubuntu or Linux Mint?
xubuntu

But Ubuntu is Linux and Linux isn't an operating system
Are you unaware that Ubuntu is Linux?
Mint.
Are you retarded or something?
If Ubuntu is Linux and Mint is Linux, does that mean that Ubuntu is Mint?
If humans are mammals and cats are mammals does that mean humans are cats?

Yes! Finally you get it!
Cats lay eggs you fucking doughnut
Dude is like comparing a car with a car engine.
I know this is a troll thread, but I had a lot of sleeping pills so here's a serious reply.
Linux is a very broad word, similar to saying "Car" but without specifying what kind.
Ubuntu Linux is like a type of car- family friendly, ready to drive, and easy to learn because the transmission is *automatic*.
Debian is another type of car that looks just like Ubuntu, but you kind of have to finish attaching the missing components like mirrors, car stereo, wheels, etc. Tansmission is Manual/Stick shift in Debian.
Arch and Gentoo are like having a 3d printer that prints your car parts one at a time. You have to put these parts together yourself, during which you learn a lot about the internals of the system. Once your'e done with all the trial and error, your car runs faster than all the other cars. Only catch is that it's not very user friendly for beginers.
I wish I was a cat desu

>tfw you will never fuck cat girls
also fuck those cia nigger
>It seems in Ubuntu I have to type a shitload of code just to install things,
You're doing it wrong, open a package manager like Synaptic.
Is this what loonix fags actually believe? Gee, no wonder no one likes you.
same as the difference between windows and nt, or macos and darwin

Mint all day everyday

my opinion of Sup Forums diminishes further every day
fuck off furfag

ubuntu is a os who use gnu/linux kernel basically
Linux is a part of Ubuntu, Ubuntu provides a lot of software besides Linux to make a complete operating system (such as a graphical user interface).
Linux is a kernel, very simply put a piece of software which provides an interface between hardware and software. Windows has a kernel too, but that kernel is not windows.
You can not compare Ubuntu and Linux.
Also Ubuntu does not require you to type a single line of code.
Mint is considered harmful, you really should never use it. Debian/Ubuntu are nearly the same they just come without a variety of issues that Mint introduces.
>Ubuntu is Linux and Linux isn't an operating system
By that logic Ubuntu is not an operating system either, which is clearly false.
Linux is a (very much vital) part of Ubuntu. But Linux and Ubuntu are different things.

install gentoo?
Are you a dumbass? Ubuntu is a Linux distro you fucking newfag.
It's more like stage 1 gentoo installation. Also arch have 3rd party installers and you can write scripts for your setup.
Debian based distros in general are a cancer on loonix world
They are LITERALLY the only reason anyone uses Linux at all.
Basically there are a lot of linuxes but ubuntu is the best linux, that's why it's popular. Other linuxs don't really work but their users pretend they do because they spent alot of money
Whatever you say, Lennart.
>what is RedHat
Mint is a better ubuntu, just as ubuntu is a better debian, upon which it is based.
