/g/, please stop calling the GNU/Linux operating system "Linux". Linux is the name of the kernel that Linus Torvalds developed. The operating system in which Linux is used is basically GNU with Linux added. To call the whole system “Linux” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system GNU/Linux, both to give the GNU Project credit and to distinguish the whole system from the kernel alone.
For more informations about the topic, see <https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html>.
Thanks for listening.
Hey faggot, you can have a Linux based operating system with 100% non GANOO components. Dumb fuck.
>>53550972
You can, but I'm not talking about such systems.
>>53550972
Those systems are not GNU/Linux systems, the GNU/Linux name does not apply to such systems. The GNU/Linux name is intended only for GNU based systems that have Linux added to them.
>>53551019
It's Linux, faggot. 99% of humans say Linux, so it's Linux. BTFO.
>>53551330
People are taught misleading things about Linux. If they don't understand the implications of what they've learned, of course they're going to teach other people the same things that they've learned.
Choose which option you want OP:
We call it Gnu/Linux, but we also call Android Android/Linux.
If no, then we call it GNU, and leave Android where its at.
>linux is just a small part of the GNU operating system
>HURD has been in development for 30 years
>>53551377
It's okay to call Android as Linux/Android because that's what it is.
>>53550972
Those systems aren't GNU+Linux neither are GNU systems that don't use the Linux kernel.
Linux is the layman's term. Not that inside bullshit jargon that nobody understands
>>53551397
It's funny. because the same thing happened between GNU and Linux that happened with Android and Linux. Except you don't hear a word from Linus about android giving him credit.
>>53551452
Linus, pls go
>>53551452
No it's not. To overload the Linux name to mean two kinds of things is a mistake. Nobody does this for Android. Android is solely about an operating system that is intended for cell phones. People are not saying that Linux (the smaller part of the system) is the operating system.
>>53551493
So you are in favor of calling it GNU to represent the entire operating system then?
if that's true then it would be GNU+Linux and not GNU/Linux. the slash doesn't mean they they're added together.
On the 1st day there was RMS.
On the 2nd day, there was RMS, who thought it's a good idea to create a free as in freedom operating system.
On the 3rd day, RMS started the GNU project, wich developed the GNU operating system.
On the 4th day, RMS asked BSD to free their system, wich was proprietary.
On the 5th day, BSD was free and spend code to the GNU project.
On the 6th day RMS wrote the GCC compiler.
On the 7th day, nobody did anything except fapping.
>>53551598
>ganoo c compiler compiler
Nice work RMStard.
>>53550957
Fine, I'll go with No-GNU/Linux
>>53550957
While every straight person was fapping, Linus Torvald forked some GNU tools.
On the 9000th day he forked bash.
On the 9001th day he wrote the kernel "Freax" and compiled it using GCC.
On the 9002th day, he released it using a proprietary license.
On the 9003th day, Linux realized his faggotry and freed "Linux".
Since the GNU project wasn't finished with their own kernel, they added Linux to the GNU operating system.
On the 9004th day, the first GN/Linux distros appeared.
On the 9005th day, some people who miss the whole point of the free software movement released ditros with proprietary software.
On the 9006th day, "Steam for Linux" deleted the home directorys of hundreds of users.
>>53551696
On the last day, I posted this, while being drunk.
Sorry /g/.
>>53551696
>programs can only use GNU utilities and can never interface directly with the kernel
RMS confirmed for retarded.
>>53551739
Ofc they can, doesn't change the facts.
>>53551785
>retarded autist fails at writing a kernel
>muh huuuuurrrrd
>tries to claim Linux instead
Yeah, facts. There's exactly 1 Linux. There are fucking loads of core utility replacements.
>>53551808
These "replacements" are not part of the topic.
You can use Busybox, Alpine or whatever, and if you care, call it correctly, since also these aren't just "Linux", since Linux is just the kernel for their operating systems.
>>53551871
>I use (busybox/GNU/alpine/BSD)/Linux xddd
Yeah that's not fucking retarded or anything. Fuck off, it's Linux. Like how Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 is Windows.
>>53550957
Linux, just Linux.
>>53551948
Actually, if you like to come with Windows shit, the Windows kernel is NT, therefore fucking call it Windows/NT or, if you insist, NT, retard.
>>53552459
I'd just like to interject for a moment. The person you're referring as
Linus has, in fact, done just a kernel for the GNU operating system, or as
I've recently taken to calling it, nothing. Linus is not a programmer unto
himself, but rather another leech in a fully functioning software team made
useful by GNU developers.
Many computer users run his lackluster version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the finnish reject
who is widely popular today is often called a "programmer", and many of
his followers are not aware that he stole his ideas from the GNU system,
developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linus Torvalds, and these people are worshiping him,
but he is just another attention whore in the software world. Linus is an
egotist: someone who wastes resources to develop his knockoff kernel that
you run. Linus is not an essential person in the project and is useless by
himself; he can only function in the shadow of a complete software team.
>>53552459
Linus is my fave dev because of this attitude.
>>53552520
He's still licensing Linix with GPL2 and doesn't like the free software movement, why would anyone like his "attidude"?
