All the world's a VAX,

They have their exits and their entrails;

His sizeof being _N bytes. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the Regent's arms.
And then the whining schoolboy, with his Sun,
And shining morning face, creeping like slug
Unwillingly to school.

Great group. I was actually looking for a group to let them know about the channel https://www.youtube.com/@xtremelinux which is basically Steam games on Linux

No, I don't use these gadgets. A washing machine that runs Linux sounds like the dumbest thing in the world.

@Theshadowman Its almost like thats the reason I called it a kernel.... but anyway moving on. If you think you dont have any devices running linux I have news for you, you almost certainly do. Do you have a washing machine? Well that has a computer in it, running linux. Do you have a DVD player? Or a wifi router? Or a central heating control board? Almost certainly all running linux. And no, most examples of these things run a vanilla linux which can do most things without issue. Some do add binary blobs which are more there to stop users from being able to control those computers more often than not, they dont have proprietary code actually doing the heavy lifting normally. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, you clearly need to learn more about it.

Linux is not an operating system. No one cares what's on "smart devices", I don't have any and even if Linux runs there it doesn't matter because it only manages memory and cpu, all functionalities run proprietary code.

@Theshadowman well android is Linux but even if you dont count that then basically every car computer runs linux, any smart devices you have in the house almost certainly run linux, basically all the servers running the internet run Linux. Whatever way you cut it the Linux kernel is the most common kernel out there by a clear mile.
