Русский In fact, it isn’t. Let me explain.
When you see the next time a complaint like this, note what exactly that complaint is related to. I mean operating system. I am sure you’ll find out that it’s some sort of binary distributives like Centos or Ubuntu. But they are not exactly Linux! They are what they are: Linux-based operating systems distributable in binary form. You can’t refer to them as to Linux, because 1) Linux is a kernel, not an operation system, and 2) being a monolithic kernel, it’s supposed to be carefully configured and compiled natively for each system. And operating system (GNU), should be compiled against this kernel. And the whole toolchain, too.
You might say, well, why does it matter? Is there any difference?
Yes, there is, and it’s huge. Let me show you.
