Well actually Linux IS a kernel, but it's a monolithic kernel. That means it does a lot more things than other popular kernels and therefore is not really comparable. GNU tools are often used but there are alternatives to them, meaning that the only thing that's common between different systems is Linux. That makes it a good generalization term when talking about things that aren't Windows or MacOS. It's purely for convenience. I could say the one thing that all my systems have in common, or I could specifically list all the components that create the full system. Obviously that would be more exhausting to the talker and the listener.

You're only getting asked this question because you didn't march into their office, give them a firm handshake and look them straight in the eye. It's your own fault really.

The OS is the kernel. Change my mind.

Try to boot it.
Dylan Jackson
Okay let me just use busybox and i'll be right with you
Easton Scott
I don't have much experience with gnu so I omitted it
Andrew Cox
Yeah. And?
Connor Perez
>he thinks busybox can boot a kernel
Thanks, you will hear from us.
Evan Adams
>he doesn't know about uefi
The kernel has an "init" param, you can pass it literally anything and it will execute it, like bash or busbox shell implementation.
And yes you can boot straight from uefi to the kernel with out a bootloader.

Because I have experience with kernel development and making drivers for the Linux kernel.

Gtfo, Crowder.

dont you fucking talk to stephen crowder that way
Landon Ortiz
>Try to boot it
I do that every day. Linux kernel has a built-in command line. I put required parameters in it and UEFI does all the rest.

These days they expect you to avoid their eyes, give a sweaty and limp handshake, and slurp your basedlen meal-drink.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Linux as a word has multiple meaning, using it to refer to the kernel or the entire OS based around the kernel is valid.
Dylan Wilson
I do not support stealing credit.
