It's just GNU. What's the point in saying the fucking name of the kernel, nobody says Mac/Darwin or Windows/NT so why should we even say the kernel in the first place.

The license has been shilled as part of an marketing image. The image is "good coders code for fun not monetary gain" If you don't sell you software you're "pajeet" or "shill".
There's a lot of money pushing that image.

Fixed.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Actually it's just Ubuntu, RedHat, etc. You don't fucking call an OS Office just because you have Office installed.
>>54607894
how long until we have to start saying GNU/Linux/Debian/Ubuntu/Xfce
>>54607523
It's just OpenSUSE, Debian, Redhat, Mint, et al. What's the point in saying the fucking name of the userspace utilities, nobody says Mac/iWork or Windows/Office so why should we even say the userspace utilities in the first place?

sorry only libre/linux here.

Actually Linux is monolithic, therefore the whole OS is Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it just LINUX
Besides if you make a distro, you get to call whatever you like. So in fact it's just Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Red Hat Linux or Parabola GNU/Linux-libre or whatever the fuck you choose to
Many people are running a modified version of a kernel everyday without knowing. These people are running it, and there are indeed a set of GNU packages, but it's just part of the system they use
