I know Linux is a kernel. But the thing is, on the article "What is Linux" at linux.org[1], it says, "Linux is an operating system that evolved from a kernel created by Linus Torvalds when he was a student at the University of Helsinki. ... To say that Linux is an operating system means that it's meant to be used as an alternative to other operating systems, Windows, Mac OS, MS-DOS, Solaris and others."

How does this fit into things?

I'm only posting my opinion, and it's my opinion that they are wrong and pretending that all these Linux distros are the same operating system is an extremely harmful mistake. I know that opinion is not mainstream.
