Ok. I have one question then. I think we can come to a clear resolution with it.

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, what percentage is it Linux?

It includes 100% the apps, system tools, GUIs, and libraries that you associate with Linux. It also has 0 lines of Linux code in it.

If you can justify that it is above >0% Linux I will use your definition of operating system going forward.

    i don’t think percentage is a useful distinction… how do you measure that? by lines of code? by behavioural traits? my point throughout this discussion is that it’s not as clean as any of that

    as i said: its its own thing… it is neither linux, debian, nor is it freebsd… in the same way that android is an operating system distinct from other flavours of linux

    The point is, that the answer is 0% by any reasonable metric. I don't think any more is to be gained here given the question dodge.

    So I will say good bye and best of luck again.

    i didn’t dodge the question… i’m saying the question is rooted firmly in your definition and is therefore not something that i think is valid…. and your use of “reasonable” is just saying you think anyone that disagrees with you is unreasonable… charged end emotive: not intended to discuss, but to persuade regardless of truth
