The large majority run Linux, as in the kernel...
When I say Linux, I mean the Linux kernel, and I'd like it if you
stopped correcting my words.
I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I got the wrong idea from the word
"OS". Thank you for making a clear distinction between Linux and the
rest of the system.
However, I expect that missing infrastructure in other platforms is
not limited to kernels. It will be the whole system which lacks
infrastructure compared with the whole GNU/Linux system.
This habit of correcting
people is getting frankly old.
As long as the mistake continues to be common, we need to keep up the
efforts to educate people. I wish we could get this done once and for
all, so that we could move on. But, as you surely see, the mass media
continue to call the GNU/Linux system "Linux" most of the time, and
that continues to spread the mistake.
