The absolute state of the freedom hater who actually believes Linux would have gotten anywhere if it wasn't for GNU.

@SuiseisekiGNU haters will go to any length, just so they don't have to mention GNU.- Linux on server- Linux on desktop- Linux on mobile (but, not Android)- We are Linux distro (Literally, *everyone* distributing ~400 GNU software)

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.

@redstarfish @Suiseiseki @bonifartius could be. Or it’s just a gay awkward name people don’t like to say.

@Sophistifunk @redstarfish @bonifartius You have to be that to be unable to name the GNU.If you are too afraid to say GNU slash Linux, instead you can say GNU+Linux or LiGNUx or just GNU.NPC's love to brainlessly repeat buzzwords and it seems they love to repeat the "Linux" buzzword.

@redstarfish @Suiseiseki The majority aren't even GNU haters, they're victims of an OSI psyop. Actual GNU haters defame the FSF, GNU, the GPL license and Stallman to put some examples.

@sally @redstarfish @Suiseiseki People, including its users, had not heard of GNU long before the creation of the OSI. Unfortunately, the OSI is not even the only organization that teaches to call "GNU" as "Linux".
