Linux

An open-source kernel, referred as GNU/Linux. Criticised by Windows/Mac users because of it's moderate difficulty of use. Let's hope it's community will continue to be populated by people who have some brain.

Linux

A free operating system, comparable to Windows.

To all of you that think that it's not compatible with anything, use the fucking program called Wine on there, it's a nice Windows emulator.

linus westerberg

A guy who will sweep you of your feet and always be there for you. A person with a big and strong figure and blue eyes that you might aswell drown in. The hugs and kisses he'll give you will be with you for the rest of the day. He is the kind of person you'd either want to be bestfriend with or have a romantic relationship with.
Linus Westerberg is such a dream.

He is a typical Linus Westerberg.

Linux

Person 1: I use Linux
Person 2:

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Kali Linux

Was created as a Debian fork specifically intended to make penetration testing on the “Universal Operating System” have a simpler setup process. You just plug and play. BlackArch and Pentoo would be comparable distributions.

Nowadays the butt of many jokes among the Linux community as its users are often seen as script kiddies. r/KaliLinux is filled with demonstrations of what happens when you make an absolute beginner the sysadmin of what’s essentially just Debian Unstable (hint: nothing good for them, but funny for us).
Xayden: IM GONNA HACK YOUR ROUTER! I USE KALI LINUX AND IM THE GOD OF HACKING!
Bob: Ethical hacking is how I pay the bills. I use Pentoo consistently for purposes that aren’t running 10000 different Wine applications - I.e. finding any security holes that some kid using Kali would try to exploit and stopping idiots trying to hack my clients. Please, take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you even installed Kali.
