When you are talking about what's "traditionally called Linux", ca. which years version of "traditionally called Linux", and which distribution, are you talking about?

When I started using Linux, there was no package management, glibc was nowhere to be found, there was no "/proc", and so on.

Linux has changed drastically on a semi-yearly basis for well over 20 years, and many of the distributions have changed in vastly different ways.

Packaging systems being one of the things that have diverged the most widely over the years.
