ubuntu is not a linux distribution, it's a gnu/linux distribution! yes, it uses the linux kernel, but that doesn't make it "linux." the system is the complete gnu operating system, which linux itself lacks. it's gnu programs running on top of the linux kernel, making it truly gnu/linux. and by the way, ubuntu 24.10 is not a "linux version"  it's a gnu/linux+systemd+freedesktop+snap+ canonical custom userland derivative distribution version. calling it "just linux" is like calling a house a "concrete," completely ignoring the structure and all the fixtures that actually make it a home.
