| Aug 4, 2016 at 19:05 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @rancho Don't know what you read but that is wrong. Yes linux is not an OS it is a kernel, a kernel is not an OS, just one small part of an OS. Of course Windows is an OS and it has a gui but it is not mostly a gui, there is a lot more going on under the gui, more than the in the gui its self. Unix is a file system type, it has no gui and is not an os but just part of one, unix+linux+other=Ubuntu. | |

| Aug 3, 2016 at 1:21 | comment | added | Chev_603 | Totally agree. For whatever reason, this community is much friendlier. For example, instead of downvoting, often members of this community will propose edits to clarify my more obscure questions. I've never been treated with any hostility or told that I asked a stupid question, or should have researched more, or told to go away re-read the ____ documentation again on askubuntu. But that happens all the time on the other communities. Whatever the reason, I am grateful. | |
