@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. :) @TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE @analogfusion best joke EVER! Shows you know enough to know those all don’t go together… I am not a coder either .. but know enough that this is frickn hillarious |
@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.
