Windows, OS X, RHEL all those are operating systems; Linux is not. It might seem pedantic, but one must suggest distro's: CentOS(Use RHEL docs), Ubuntu(I recommend Ubuntu Studio for Desktop), Debian, Fedora, GNU/Linux/.*. I might even be as progressive to name freebsd, pc-bsd, RaspBSD.
But sorry, I'm just unwinding a bit on HN, after work.
- zer 10y agoI'm curious, what exactly is it that makes you recommend Ubuntu Studio for the desktop?
- oneweekwonder 10y agoWell to be honest I'm in Windows 10 on Ubuntu Studio. My work platform is OS X and a lot of tmuxing. I actually don't have a primary OS anymore because with c9 I can have a sane env over https.
- khedoros 10y ago> Windows, OS X, RHEL all those are operating systems; Linux is not. I'd consider "Windows" to be a family of related operating systems (but usually referring to the "Windows NT" OS). "Linux" as well, using the name of the kernel to refer to a family of different OSes built on top of it (while excluding others, in its common use).
