Good ole xda site. Haven't messed with it for a long, long time. It is a good writeup, I enjoyed reading it, but why does the writer list RPM as a package manager? Isn't it a package format, or am I crazy?

I've been hearing this debate for nearly 32 years. It's a useless argument.

The correct name for the # symbol is "octothorpe," but how many people do you know who call it that? You'll either hear it called the Pound sign (by us older folk) or the more modern Hash mark.

The fact is, Linux is both a kernel AND an OS.

@JoeKlemmer
Hmm
But in advanced and expert community you should say gnu linux
Because linux is kernel not os

Only Stallman fanatics and newly minted Open Source/Free Software initiates are that pedantic about it.

While WSL2 has a better overall performance than its predecessor, it’s known for hogging a lot of memory. WSL's read and write times also take a hit if you try to modify or save documents to the Windows file system.

What!?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
