mholiv@lemmy.world 1 week agoIf you define it that way you are right. Yah. But the common understanding is a bit different than yours.

Really great read.
I urge you to take a look at www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ It’s the exact same utilities and everything but a completely different kernel. It really highlights the difference here. How would your definition avoid d for this?
Would Debian GNU/kFreeBSD be 50% Linux, 50% FreeBSD under your definition even though it has no Linux code? It has all the system libraries and system utilities that you associate with Linux.

the common understanding is that android is a different operating system to ubuntu, and macos is a different operating system to openbsd
it is what it is: a completely different thing… BSD system tools with a linux kernel

You’re gunna do you and I respect that. But the first line from the page is
It is literally GNU userland using the GNU C library on top of FreeBSD’s kernel, coupled with the regular Debian package set
You can say is BSD system tools with a Linux kernel but you would be evidently and clearly wrong.
Anyways. I wish you well. Best of luck.

okay, sorry i got the kernel and system tools mixed up in my head after reading it. that proves nothing other than the fact that you’re looking for a gotcha rather than a serious discussion

That’s ok! I was just trying to help you see the difference. You do know. It’s a win/win. There was a reason why I kept on brining up Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. It really highlights the difference.
