Your own explanation admits that the problem of defining an operating system is that a modern OS bundles a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with an operating system.
I don't think the attitude that people are "incompetent" because they don't have the same definition as you is helpful.
- bad_user 13y agoMy attitude is not towards normal people that aren't technically knowledgeable - they have other problems to worry about and technology is meant to make their lives easier, not harder. But people being paid for being IT-knowledgeable have no excuse for not knowing things as basic as what an OS is. And they do exist, I've met them. Imagine being treated by medical personnel that do not know where the vital organs are or their basic function.
