Honestly, it feels like mentioning the concept of "desktop" seems a little weak, like someone from 2010. Chances are you have linux running in a VM, or container, or phone, or other device right beside you.

Indeed, if we are speaking about the Linux kernel, which isn't what most of these articles are about.

Except that Linux is the kernel. Anything beyond that is "UserSpace"/"distro".

For careless usage, "Linux" means Linux distro.

In a world where literally can also mean figuratively, Linux can also mean the distro.
