Apart from being open source what is Linux? Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve, again there might be an awnser for this and sounds stupid but its more out of curiosity.

    The most important part of Linux is the distribution that provides a boot loader and wraps the Linux kernel in tools & tool management.

    What makes Linux particularly special is you can create Steve from a derivative of the Linux kernel. So get cracking!
