I know Linux is an operating system but I see memes and posts about people arguing whether UNIX is an operating system or a kernel and stuff like that. So what separates the two? And what exactly is a kernel?

UNIX came first, but it cost money, so a guy named Linus made Linux, which is very very similar and almost as good. Everyone started using it because it was free, which meant it got better and better to the point where no one really cares about UNIX anymore.
