The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of widely used and currently available operating system kernels. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.
The kernel source code, a.k.a. source tree, is managed in the Git version control system – also created by Torvalds. [104] As of 2021, the 5.11 release of the Linux kernel had around 30.34 million lines of code.

The GNU Core Utilities or coreutils is a package of GNU software containing implementations for many of the basic tools, such as cat, ls, and rm, which are used on Unix-like operating systems.
The actual kernel depends on the individual device. [193] Android's variant of the Linux kernel has further architectural changes that are implemented by Google outside the typical Linux kernel development cycle, such as the inclusion of components like device trees, ashmem, ION, and different out of memory (OOM) handling.
