Fedora isn't Linux, it's a Linux distribution, but everyone calls all Linux distributions "Linux", so Fedora should be called "Linux" even though it isn't Linux? Is that what you're saying? Unfortunately that doesn't help much with defining what Linux *is*.

Or do you mean that Fedora isn't *equal* to Linux, it's just *a* Linux, but everyone calls all Linuxes "Linux"?

It is kind of like the difference between a car, a Ford, and a Mustang. A car does not have to be a Ford to be a car. A Ford doea not have to be a Mustang. But it is still correct to call a Mustang a car.
