No #Linux OS ๐Ÿง

Today, I realized thereโ€™s no such thing as a "Linux OS"! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Actually, OS like Kali Linux ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ, #Ubuntu ๐Ÿงก, and #Parrot OS ๐Ÿฆœ are all based on the Linux #kernel. These are what we commonly call "Linux OS," but #technically, thereโ€™s no such thing as a Linux OS! ๐Ÿค”

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

  • #Windows ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ is based on a #Hybrid Kernel.
  • Mac ๐ŸŽ runs on the #XNU Kernel.

Another #Shocking #news! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ #Android OS ๐Ÿ“ฑ is also a Linux kernel-based OS! The Linux kernel is the foundation โš™๏ธ for any #bootable device, even a USB! ๐Ÿ’พ
