- dijit 4y agoRichard Stallman agrees with you. I’m happy to take a different name, but Wikipedia at least refers to it this way. Debian themselves say that they’re an operating system. Regardless; many (if not most, if not close to all) utilities developed on top of Linux are portable across not only distributions, but other kernels or even operating systems. It’s not fair to say that “those people who develop on systems with Linux kernels only support linux”.
