As an Ubuntu fan and user, I love this video! However, after watching The Big Bang Theory, I think Ubuntu would be too user-friendly for Sheldon. I think Gentoo Linux or one of the BSD's would be more his style.
What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
@twochikenwangs based on linux if that makes sense...... anyway i know what ya mean but it's so common to simply call it "Linux" and I don't think it's "disrespectful" to GNU project.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it.
@marcusaureliooze Ubuntu is not BASED on GNU/Linux, Ubuntu IS a GNU/Linux distribution.
There are different layers of "basing on". You can say "Ubuntu is based on Debian GNU/Linux" or "Ubuntu is based on Linux" and either way you're right since Ubuntu is definitely based on Linux kernel on the one side and it is based on Debian GNU/Linux with all its tools on the other side.
If you accept going 1 step deeper from Debian GNU/Linux to GNU/Linux then what's wrong with going 1 more step deeper? ;)
Most of what you said is an exact copy and paste from the "Linux and the GNU Project" on the GNU site.
so you either A. are Richard Stallman B. annoying for mentioning something 90% of linux users know and dont care about naming C. forgot the copyright notice for your derivative of the essay

@marcusaureliooze
I'm completely agree with all you said but I don't understand WHY you said that.
Neither Sheldon, nor anyone else in comments said "Linux" applying to the OS. Sheldon said "Ubuntu, you are my favorite Linux-BASED operating system".
When you were saying "what you're referring to as Linux" - who were you talking to?
Mezomish 1 year ago
@Mezomish Exactly. He said "Linux-based". But Ubuntu is GNU/Linux-based.
There's no such thing as Linux-based anything. Oh wait, there's Linux-based popularity for the kernel coder.
