I asked an Apple store genius what kernel MacOS ran on. He opened the help page on a Mac and straight up told me the kernel was called High Sierra

The kernel is actually called Linux. But like every other thing that gets popular, the whole system for the end user got a short and practical nickname. It happens to everything if you wait long enough. People probably chose to say Linux because it's a cool name and easy to remember. Tux probably also played a part in it. If you hear about it for the first time it's easier to remember a pronounceable yet distinguished name which is attached to a cute penguin picture. I don't see how it could have gone any other way, even with hardcore interject shilling. It's just how brains work.

But the system already got a name since 1983, why rename it after a secondary contribution?
Cooper Martinez
Linux didn't start because Torvalds thought "hey, I really want to make a good kernel for GNU". It was going to be its own thing. It's not a subproject of GNU.
Henry Howard
It exactly happened that way. He said in the debate with tannebaum, if Hurd had been available, he had never started linux.
Mason Howard
Linux is a kernel, a program in a system. Most commonly used in operating systems like Android and a GNU variant. Other GNU variants are for example GNU/Linux-libre or GNU/kFreeBSD.
Adrian Rodriguez
>It exactly happened that way.
Not even close. It's true that he started because there was no system readily available for his needs, but it never was a subproject of GNU.

>Hello everybody out there using minix -
>I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

A monolithic kernel IS an operating system, according to Wikipedia's helpful charts. Do you have concrete proof that counters this image totally?
Grayson Miller
Linux is a kernel. What you're referring to as linux is actually GNU/Linux.
John Lee
Also because it was designed useing unix as a refference.
it's just GNU (which is awefull) not Gnux
Brody Kelly
