npub183n8fp0xavfvuejszsfzkf44af77j6xfgmk33k2whm7ktflcr4jqswtahh (npub183n…tahh) Yeah, I don't think you can call the kernel on its own (especially the early versions of it) a "distro" per se, though I'm fully aware that's how you start a flame war online with the "Kernel only vs GNU+Kernel" people.

Perhaps the first real "Linux Distro" is whenever the GNU toolset got integrated with the kernel, thereby making what could be properly termed an operating system? How far back did that first happen, and was it Linus who did that or someone else? Is there a point before that even happened that could be classified as a distro?

Actually might be curious to explore back and see just what could be truly called the "first Linux distro."
