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?
In: Technology
I would say that Linux is one flavor of Unix, specifically an open source flavor. More technical people will no doubt respond.
Both Unix and Linux have a kernel, which is the lowest level operating system interaction with computer hardware.
