  Almost? I'm arguing that "Linux" is ambiguous and that what a lot of people think of as "Linux" is shorthand for "open and not like what we're used to with Apple and Windows and also almost universally uses actual Linux code and tools as the software." Let's try this. If I said "I really like the Apple experience" -- what do you think of? I can tell you what you're not thinking of: You're NOT thinking of my experience with an Apple II and the freedom of owning a machine and programming in Basic and getting the computer to do what I want. So if I get all uppity and say "What all of you are saying is Apple really isn't THE REAL APPLE" -- sure, to me it's true. Also mostly doesn't matter.

    But…this is all irrelevant? Nothing you just said is related to what the thread was about. You somehow fabricated a random discussion point into the mix? Perhaps you mixed up threads with someone else who was talking about the differentiation of types of Linux, GNU etc?? Even then, I’m still not sure what you’re trying to say. It all seems so ephemeral and hand wavy to me, but I’m genuinely trying to understand what you’re getting at.
