For all the Stallman incarnates out there, I understand that Linux is a kernel and GNU corelibs and userspace all unite in some unholy ceremony to make a usable operating system.
For the bulk of the userbase though, this ultimately doesn’t matter. Language also has the neat capability to evolve based on its accepted understanding. Everyone knows what is meant when an operating system is referred to as “Linux” and that’s what matters.
That’s a good one, I’m going to save it.
