is the "slash" (`/`) in GNU/Linux pronounced?
>>54700171
Depends if you have down syndrome or not
Yes, it's pronounced 'plus'.
The slash is an English pronunciation symbol meaning "don't say anything before this mark unless you're autistic"

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.
>>54700535
how original
>>54700171
just say "Linux based distros" or "Linux Based OS's" like professional non-tard
yes, GNU forward-leaning pipe Linux
it's GNU solidus Linux
>>54700171
I just say GNU Linux with slash unpronounced.
>>54700588
>forward-leaning pipe

>>54700171
yes. It has something to do with the fact that Linux is not part of the GNU project. You can ask rms himself about that.

Nu mediocre guitarist Linux
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU(Linux, is in fact, SystemD, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Shit. GNU/Linux is not the operating system unto itself, but rather two components of a fully functioning SystemD system made useful by all it's builting services, daemons and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the SystemD system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Systemd which is widely used today is often called "GNU/Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically SystemD, developed by the Red Hat inc. There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

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 SystemD with GNU and Linux added. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of SystemD.

now that's a good copypasta

>>54700171
The "GNU/" is silent
>>54700171
just call it linux, we don't give a shit about gnu bloat
>>54700171
It means linux is a file in the GNU directory.
So you're answer is maybe.
you have to say GAHNOO PLUSHTH LEENUKSHH in a really whiny voice ala stallman
>>54700171
/ is silent for me. So GNU Linux

Linux is the kernel and most of the time when people say Linux they are referring to the kernel not the Gnu coreutils so I don't see what's wrong.

"Linux Based OS's" includes Android

what about os x
gnu slash linux
the slash don't be silent
>>54709050
I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.
There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.
