If you are referring to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux", it'd be correct (AFAIK) to say that Red Hat identifies "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" as an operating system, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that Red Hat calls "Linux" an operating system (well... subject to the reality of human inaccuracy). And the validity and correctness of the term "GNU/Linux" is *definitely* disputed (and likely always will be). Maybe "Operating systems based on the Linux kernel" would be satisfactory? ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12931#discussion_r1147838269
