Update: New definition for the Linux trademark and related terms!

As Linux is enjoying wider adoption among less technically inclined individuals, we are making changes to what we call the project and key components to make referring to them more straightforward and avoid gatekeeping.

Major changes:

Term Meaning in versions up to 6 Meaning in versions 7 and up
Linux LT's project of an open-source OS kernel OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities
Linux kernel redundant LT's project of an open-source OS kernel
Linux without GNU redundant OS based on the Linux kernel without GNU utilities
GNU/Linux OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities deprecated
Linux distro Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities

Please make sure to update corresponding API calls and documentation when upgrading to kernel 7.x. You will be able to use deprecated terms during support periods on kernel versions 6.x.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
