IT is perfectly simple and straighforward, but reading your
contributions to this thread, the real problem here is that, as far as
I can tell, you don't know or understand the "common meanings" of
things like "operating system", "based on", "sits on top of" and so
on.

It is tedious, Albert, because you don't really know what you're
talking about and keep taking issues with others that do. Even the
supremely annoying Ryan.

Please, just drop it, and if you really want to know about this stuff
and debate it, go and do lots of background reading. Start from a
clean slate, set aside what you think you know, and study up.

But you are not *ever* going to argue anyone who actually understands
this stuff around to agreeing with nonsense statements like KDE being
based on GNOME, because this is transparent rubbish.
