Qué es el Kernel Linux y cuál es la diferencia con GNU | GNU/Linux explicado desde cero

What exactly is Linux? Is Linux a complete operating system or just its kernel? What does the GNU project contribute, and why do some people use the term GNU/Linux? In this episode of the Technology and Computing Podcast with Tomás González, we clearly and rigorously explain the difference between the Linux kernel, the GNU project, and a complete distribution. We'll analyze how the kernel acts as an intermediary between hardware and software, managing the processor, memory, devices, processes, file systems, and network communications. We'll also explore the origins of the GNU project, its main tools, and its importance within the free software ecosystem. We'll discuss components like Bash, GCC, GNU Coreutils, glibc, and GDB, and see why these tools shouldn't be confused with the kernel. During this episode, we'll cover the following topics: What is a kernel? What functions does the Linux kernel perform? The difference between user space and kernel space? Process, memory, device, and file system management. What is the GNU project? Differences between Linux and GNU. Why is the term GNU/Linux used? What is a Linux distribution? Differences between Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine Linux, and Android. What role do BusyBox, musl, and glibc play? Why not all Linux-based systems use GNU. The importance of free software and digital autonomy. The goal is to understand the architecture of GNU/Linux systems from its foundations, avoiding superficial definitions and correctly differentiating each of its components.
