Linux distros are not only "Linux", they are GNU/Linux. Linux is only
the kernel of a GNU/Linux system (a distro). Android is not a distro
because they don't have GNU, but Android is "Linux" because it has

Linux distros are not only "Linux", they are GNU/Linux. Linux is only the
kernel of a GNU/Linux system (a distro). Android is not a distro because they

I see. Now that I look at it, 9fans its more similar to 9front than
Plan 9 indeed. My confusion arose from the description being "Fans of
the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs". Besides that, the subreddit is r/plan9,
and people seem to talk more often about Plan 9 itself than 9front.

But that's why 9front was forked, right? They say it on their FAQ. Even though
Plan 9 isn't being developed anymore, doesn't the fork cause worry that one day
they become too different, especially since the community is rather centered

Many of them are still around. In

Hello. I just found out about Plan 9 and I'm trying to understand more.
I see that 9front is often called a fork of Plan 9. However, reading
the FAQ and the 9front wiki, the authors seem to often "conflate" both.
