Its just Linux, not GNU/Linux.
>inb4 le kernel is not OS
Linus Torvalds made it very clear he wants the OS to be called *Linux, it has nothing to do with the GNU project.
So the autistic turbonerds at /g/ need to drop this nonsense.

Written English words starting with a G have the consonant silent (gnome, gnat, gnaw). It would follow that GNU would have a silent G in English, but that's not how it's commonly pronounced. GNU also appears to be an acronym, not an initialism.
