Linux? I just use it.
Command line? It's just somewhere I copy and paste to if I have to.

I don't even know what Linux is? I assume it's a Windows operating system on a Macintosh desktop PC?

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE It is an operating system, but it's distinct from Windows or Mac, and will run on a wide variety of hardware. It also runs much of the internet, and is the OS on which both Chromebooks and Android are built.

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Well, technically Linux is just a kernel but for practical reasons it's usually called an operating system. Thought I'd better say that before somebody gets all pedantic about it.

Sorry Lance. I should explain that my default is messing around and being daft. So if I say something incongruous, assume I'm attempting to be funny. However.... I actually did NOT KNOW THAT! and think it's really interesting! Does that mean all Android devices? Am I a Linux user without even realising?

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Sorta. Google has modified it. Just don't ask me how and where because that's where my knowledge ends. :)
