I have a hard time understanding if you are actually serious, or if
you are just taking the mick with these types of statements.

Is it really so hard to grasp that the term "Linux" can (and does)
mean different things depending on context, who you are talking to,
and the counterparts technical savvy?

I also would like to know why you have the absolute fascination and
the palpable need to obtain a totally absolute definition of "Linux".
