       @cmsdengl you cannot install Linux, it's just a kernel.  You need to pick an operating system such as Debian GNU/Linux,.or GNU Guix.

       @janneke @cmsdengl This sort of pedantry is how you get people to stay away from free software.Linux is synecdoche for an OS with a Linux kernel, and has been for decades no matter how much rms complains.Unix is metonomy for a range of Unix-like systems, including FreeBSD even through the latter is not fully compliant with and certified to the Single UNIX Specification, and despite The Open Group's trademark control.

       no, it's the misrepresentation of an education campaign (one that brings with it a fight against injustices at that) as pedantry that gets people away from that which would make their lives better.CC: @janneke@todon.nl @cmsdengl@mas.to

       @dalke @janneke @cmsdengl GNU's Not Unix!It's gatekeeping the proprietary rot out, thus the free software remains free.
