Stop calling it gnu/Linux already. No one gives a fuck. You all sound like a fucking nerds when pronounce it like that. Just Linux. Richard Stallman my ass.
What a sore loser, he's making it sound like the kernel is just an add-on piece of the system that anybody can make, despite the fact that he failed to make a working and reliable one.
Major part of Gnu and Linux written in C, so what? Even heard how Dennis Richie was crying about not mentioning him and his lang and whole fucking Bell Labs? Thats how real alpha males act not like omega crybabies like stallman.
>Just Linux I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as "Just 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.
Cameron King
Literally who?
Joshua Brooks
the tools are useful, who cares if you don't like Stallman
Nathaniel Cruz
stop using C then, it's not GNU/Linux it's C plus Linux
William Russell
C is a language
Matthew Miller
Except for that unfortunate emacs experiment, Stallman is always right.
Andrew Fisher
i'm calling it james because it's free as in freedom and i can do whatever the fuck i want with it
Henry Jones
Who the heck is Stallman?
Brandon Hill
the walrus in op's pic
Nolan Gonzalez
a guy who used to write some nifty programs and wanted to create an os but was too distracted by linguistic autism to pull through and forgot the most vital system component. he got beat to the punch by linus torvalds and nowadays prefers to yell at people who don't give him enough "credit" instead of writing code
Jonathan Johnson
>Major part of Gnu and Linux written in C, so what? Even heard how Dennis Richie was crying about not mentioning him and his lang and whole fucking Bell Labs? Thats how real alpha males act not like omega crybabies like stallman. Literally everyone already knows GNU/Linux is a form of Unix. He has lost no credit to it.
Andrew Bennett
You may not know it from browsing Jow Forums, but in reality he doesn't actually spend much time on the naming thing.
Hudson Gonzalez
he sure spends a lot of time explaining the meaning of 'free'
Charles Hall
Why do you think it is that, when Linus wrote Linux, there already was an entire ready operating system for him to run with his kernel? It's because it was all GNU stuff. It's not at all unreasonable to keep calling the system GNU when all that was added to it was a new kernel. It's not like GNU hadn't run previously, just not on a GPL-licensed kernel.
Jackson Morris
So?
I'm running TuxKart/Linux.
Jeremiah Wright
... yes? Is that somehow related to the discussion at hand?
Brandon Murphy
I laughed mate.
Isaac Bailey
yes, stallman and his idiotic antics are very related to this thread
Hudson Edwards
How is it idiotic to educate people against free software and why it matters?
it's idiotic to repeat the same shit over and over again if all he has to do is renaming it to "libre software". but he won't do this. why? because it would give him one less opportunity to throw a spergfit
Hunter Garcia
OP is an asshole, more people should donate $ to the fsf
Andrew Perez
>if all he has to do is renaming it to "libre software".
do you even have any idea what a strawman argument is or are you just randomly shitting out posts because you're frustrated?
Ian Roberts
>Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. I love Linus, but that makes you wonder why he himself is calling it the "Linux kernel" rather than the "Linux operating system". An operating system is commonly understood to also include various kinds of utilities in addition to the kernel.
Ethan Brooks
Right, I actually remembered the definition wrong as being a simplified argument drawn to its logical conclusion. Either way, your argument is stupid. All his issues would not be fixed by renaming it "libre software", not even a small fraction of them, and it would also introduce the eternal question "wtf does libre mean".
Hunter Rivera
sure, it wouldn't help defining what libre software actually is but it would spare us the rant about how free has several meanings in english. he just loves to rant about that, usually followed by explanation how free doesn't necessarily mean it's gratis

Camden Cooper
Gnu made much more than coreutils. They made glibc, gnome (with gtk and shit), bash, nano and much more. What would you do without gnu? We are talking about the resulting os, not the kernel that does shit and is bloated anyway. Linus is just riding the hypetrain and takes the credit for all his slaves.
Zachary Bennett
Only ever listen to Stallman when he talks about proprietary software. Everything else is just white noise.
John Johnson
That jpg is fake. Linus never said that shit. Now that you know, you can stop reposting it.

>C plus Linux It's Linux on C.
Jaxson Rivera
It is the Linux kernel. The kernel is objectively THE most important part of the OS. It should go by Linux. Names should follow suit of the kernel, not whatever the fuck surrounds it. Or it should at least be Linux/GNU.
David Price
Wrong. Kernel is nothing without tools.
Jayden Young
>durr
Lincoln Rivera
Tools are nothing without kernel. Software is developed with specific kernels in mind. Kernels are the most import parts of OSs.
Kevin Gomez
>The kernel is objectively THE most important part of the OS. Not if the tools can run just as well on other kernels too, which they can and did before Linux was. >Software is developed with specific kernels in mind. Absolutely wrong.
Justin Rogers
>Software is developed with specific kernels in mind. Idiot.
Daniel Ward
It is right and proper to mention the principal contribution first. The GNU contribution to the system is not only bigger than Linux and prior to Linux, we actually started the whole activity.
In addition, “GNU/Linux” fits the fact that Linux is the lowest level of the system and GNU fills technically higher levels.
However, if you prefer to call the system “Linux/GNU”, that is a lot better than what people usually do, which is to omit GNU entirely and make it seem that the whole system is Linux.
Colton Brooks
Tools are nothing without the kernel.
Brayden Cooper
The GNU system existed many years before Linux was a thing.
Luis Johnson
>Tools are nothing without the kernel. There are many kernels. Guess why Linux is popular while other kernels aren't.
Benjamin Bailey
this is why you should call it systemd/gnu/x11/linux

SOMEONE AGREED WITH ME THAT MEANS I'M RIGHT SHUSH DON'T TAKE THIS FROM ME.
Gabriel Gutierrez
OP, you're absolutely right. I will start to call it Bell/GNU/Linux now and get pissed off at anyone that don't do the same.
Jaxson Nguyen
The real reason nobody calls it GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux is simply because 'GNU' is a stupid fucking name. Not because people are unwilling to give credit.
