Oh sorry for the giant copypasta then, I though you were just joking. Yes, by definition, Linux is not an OS, just the kernel, the base of an OS basically, the thing that decides how many memory each process gets, how much CPU time can one get, communicates with the disk so that programs can access files on the file system and much more. It is however used commonly to refer to an OS with Linux as its kernel (a Linux distribution/distro). You may have heard of some popular Linux distros, such as Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu and Arch Linux. Those are operating systems that use Linux as their kernel, however they are commonly referred to as just "Linux".

I hope I explained it well, it's 1 am here right now and I probably should go to sleep.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.

I think most of normal users don't even know what an OS is, so they don't think who is choosing it.

Maybe it has something to do with the giant red rubber band surrounding it

Although I can be considered a very tech-savvy person, I actually have my laptop set to use my local language and not English. This is because my local language has an issue of absorbing too many English words, I feel better when I have to remember and use my language's words and not the English ones. Not really sure if you will understand what I mean here though.

UPDATE: Channel "4096" (about 10 million subs i think, it had that legendary 30 million view video with the windows 7 windows dancing) has also been deleted:

UPDATE 2: The channel was restored.

I hate the Windows API so much. There are like 100 million function that all start with a capital letter and take a kajillion arguments just to do the most simple thing imaginable (see CreateThread). And there are twenty different typedefs for the same type (PSTR, LPSTR, tchar* all point to char*). Also all variables and function arguments should start with their types, like hWindow if the window is a HANDLE.

I hate this joke of a programming interface so much, I hope everyone sticks to programming with POSIX and platform-agnostic libraries.

EDIT: And also, did I mention that if you want to use it, you get all of it or none of it? It's literally a single header file named Windows.h. You get just that and take it or leave it.

Also, it's still Chromium, meaning it can be affected by Google's decisions.

I remember watching a video like this but it was on Reddit and it was top post. It was also happening in Moscow, not the USA.

"The country of freedom" accuses the other country of their censorship in media, but then it starts doing the same things.

Freedom my ass I say
