gnu/linux or just linux?

Since I am using the Linux version of GNU I call it GNU/Linux

Linux is the only correct choice unless you're a fat delusional freetard who likes to piggyback on the success of others.

>>54817572
Linux is successful because of RMS

Linux could not exist without GNU software.

i call it LInux + gNU + X
or for short, LINUX

"Linux" is fine if you accept Android, OpenWRT/busybox as all LinuxOS, same as Win2k...10 as all WindowsOS. Though things like the debian kfreebsd-gnu are pretty blurred under that definition.

in the same way haiku and templeos are, that is, "not at all because they are entirely unrelated to linux"

I call it Gentoo.

I use linux when I refer to the kernel but GNU/Linux for the OS.
For example no one calls Android a Linux OS, it just Android. GNU is nice enough to include Linux in the name.
>>
>>54817548
Neither. Call the operating system you use by its name, Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, ChromeOS, Android, Whatever the fuck.

Ok /b/ whatever you say cool l33t hack0r race

What did I say, brain dead lump of shit?

You said you'd rather hand crank your car to start it like a fucking retard Neanderthal instead of using a normal system?
>>
>>54817626
And GNU coreutils couldn't exist without the kernel so should we call them Linux/GNU?
Oh but they both depend on a processor so we should call them Processor/GNU/Linux and Processor/Linux/GNU.

I like to call it GNU+Linux

Linux/Systemd

>>54818144
There's plenty of GNU software that doesn't depend on the Linux kernel at all. On the other hand, the Linux kernel could not exist without GCC.

Neither. The name is systemd

Linux is how it's been, Linux is simpler, Linux is less autistic, Linux is fair. It's Linux.

Great reply

Depends whether I'm talking about Linux or if I'm talking abou GNU/Linux

>ergo, it's GNU/Linux
Do you live in a Carlos/House?
>>
>>54817548
My rule of thumb is that if it's endorsed by the fsf or close enough so as to be very easy to make libre (Debian or Fedora) then I use GNU/Linux. Otherwise it's just Linux.
>>
Linux. Just Linux.

I know what GNU's place in Linux is. I'm not slowly letting its value to the OS slip away every time I don't mention it when discussing Linux; that notion is laughable.
>>
sure is pajeet in here

>>54817548
Linux for everyday life, gnu/linux for pure autism

>>54817548
both

I just call it gnu.
