What is "the linux kernel". I thought Linux is an operating system kernel. Is "the linux kernel" some kind of microkernel?

At least dlang didn't call it "the kernel Linux" like Stallman advocates.

(you can still see examples on gnu.org, it's downright weird)

I called it the Linux kernel to differentiate it from the Linux Operating System family of distributions.

I am explicitly not agreeing with Stallman's views on GNU/Linux. please don't imply that I at all agree with him on that.

Confusing joke, my bad. I only meant to poke fun at those who are never happy with what the kernel is called.
