Linux is a kernel. It implements no documented standard (and maintains
a policy against stable interfaces). Applications do not run on Linux.
Does Linux not implement the system calls described by POSIX?
System calls, yes, but that's a fraction of the POSIX specification.
GNU/Linux is an implementation of a POSIX operating system. Linux is not.
