No #Linux OS 🐧

Today, I realized there’s no such thing as a "Linux OS"! 😲

Actually, OS like Kali Linux πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ, #Ubuntu 🧑, and #Parrot OS 🦜 are all based on the Linux #kernel. These are what we commonly call "Linux OS," but #technically, there’s no such thing as a Linux OS! πŸ€”

Kali Linux, Ubuntu, and Parrot OS are all Linux kernel-based Operating Systems. Similarly:

  • #Windows πŸ–₯️ is based on a #Hybrid Kernel.
  • Mac 🍎 runs on the #XNU Kernel.

Another #Shocking #news! 😱 #Android OS πŸ“± is also a Linux kernel-based OS! The Linux kernel is the foundation βš™οΈ for any #bootable device, even a USB! πŸ’Ύ
