Only the big systems. A lot of the little ones have something smaller.


depends how small you are going. Slab/phone/router that's linux. Or a
derivative thereof (busybox/android etc).




What does busybox have to do with linux?
Its a piece of open source software that runs as a shell with some built
in commands not an OS.


But it is the user interface to linux. Not any OS.


Rubbish.


"BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources
in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or
exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to
customize your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add
some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a
*Linux kernel*."

So you are lying again. Busybox implies Linux.


More of your lies

You really don't know much about open source software do you?
I doubt if anyone actually thinks you know anything about open source or
windows by now and I doubt if you know anything about linux.

You need to understand linux is a kernel it is not an OS and virtually
anything that runs on it can run on another OS if you want it to. Its
fundamental to open source that its not limited to linux if its written
correctly and as the source is available even the incorrectly written
stuff can be fixed if its worth the effort.
