Linux is a common name for software distributions based on the Linux kernel by Torvalds. It's not an operating system.

Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world,  if u dont have windows, and u install linux, it operates the comp, making it an operating system, plus for n00bs its a simple explanation.

The old definition-1991-no distributions (not POSIX standard) :
Linux is not OS, Linux is a kernel
The modern definition-1993-first distributions (Slackware, Debian)(that is POSIX standard) :
Linux is a UNIX like & POSIX compatible OS
And some Linux distribution is commercial product:
Microtik RouterOS, MonteVista Linux, LynxOS, RTLinux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux...etc.
