I have seen many people call Linux GNU/Linux on here.
While it's a start, please consider calling your system without ignoring all the hard work developers went through to bring the software to you.
So I urge you to run this command to find out what you should name your system.
echo "$(apt-mark showmanual | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\//g')/Linux"
Please stick to this name when referring to your OS. Make sure to run it every once in a while so as to keep it updated :)

>bash: apt-mark: command not found
well?
>invents aGPL3
>expects me to like him
fuck off
this deletes system32 please be warned
gnutards are the absolute worst
name they insist on does not even sound good
and they try to insert it EVERYWHERE
Linux is a kernel. Like NT in Windows, XNU in macOS, or Linux in Android and Linux in GNU. There is no reason to mention the kernel.
look up synecdoche
I have a better command
rm -rf /home
>unreadable skriddie sed bullshit
apt-mark showmanual | tr '\n' '/' && echo Linux
there, much better

"What OS do you use, user?"
"Linux."
"Oh, which distro?"
"Install Gentoo, of course."
"Very cool, my dude."
-vs-
"What OS do you use, user?"
"GUHNEW SLASH LIH-NUCKS."
"disgust.jpg A-Are you okay, user? You sound sick."
"OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GUHNEW PLUS LIH-NUCKS LIHNUCKS IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF BUT ANOTHER FREE COMPONE--"
"*runs screaming in terror*"
>not using GNU/Linux around tech-savy people while using Linux around normies
I use Alpine Linux. :^)
No seriously, try actually telling anyone in real life that you use "guhnew slash lih-nucks", tech savvy or no, and let me know how their expression changes in that instant. Anyone that gives a shit about Linux will already know what the fuck you mean when you say "Linux" without having to garble out a mouthful of vomit tacked onto it.
In doubt just ask the operating system.
uname --operating-system
If I use Gimp in Windows, does that make it GNU/Windows/NT?
No, that's why when you use linux in GNU it doesn't make it Linux/GNU. It's just GNU.
Oh-kay...
He's technically right though. Freetards will never admit it though because "Linux" sounds coooooool! Pathetic.
GNU/Linux was a meme until Android/Linux came along and then it actually became a useful distinguisher in some contexts.
>one brand of userland that can be done away with entirely with other alternatives is more important than the kernel driving the entire thing
most desktop/server distributions of "Linux" run GNU user land tools
also this
>free software is defined by marketshare
>GUHNEW
It's actually GANOO
GUHNEW feels more appropriate to me, as it better resembles the sound of someone trying to hold back vomit, as in, "GUHNEW--...HURRRRD"
The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix!”; it is pronounced as one syllable with a hard g, like “grew” but with the letter “n” instead of “r”.
This is a recording of Richard Stallman saying “GNU” and another with a short explanation about how GNU was named:
· gnu.org
· gnu.org
That is two syllables...
I do and people that know about Linux don't give a fuck if you say gnu Linux or just Linux because they know what you mean. I don't know why people consider saying gnu before Linux is so difficult
There are none-gnu Linux distros so yes the user land counts as well as the core utils
Because it's an ugly word that doesn't "roll" off the tongue so much as spew.
Although "GNU/Linux" /ɡəˈnuː slæʃ ˈlJnəks/ is often pronounced without the slash, Stallman recommends explicitly saying the word "slash" or "plus" (i.e. "GNU+Linux") in order to avoid the mistaken suggestion that the Linux kernel itself is a GNU package,[58] as is the case with GNU Linux-libre.
Wait, so it's just GNU?
kek
It's how people called the OS since 1983. Why should it be called Linux in 2018?
Niggers. The combination of the GNU OS and the Linux OS is called GNU/Linux.
That's not a combination of GNU and Linux, obviously. Your point?
>Linux is a GNU package
>"I've never contributed to the Linux kernel." -RMS
waw
absolut waw
But it does
Saying gnu slash Linux is a bit more tedious but how often do you say it? It's not like you use it every other sentence
No, user, it really doesn't, try saying it out loud. It's a guttural blob that threatens to block your windpipe.
Sorry but I don't know what autistic language is your native one, that makes it so difficult to pronounce gnu
English, buddy. "Guh-new" sounds like fucking Swahili or some shit, even more awkward than saying "ubuntu".
>Uses GNU free linux distro
>Gets yelled at for not calling it GANOO/Linux
kek
Debian calls itself GNU/Linux
debian.org
What if I would just say Gnu Linux without slash or plus?
actually it should be an acronym
"Linux, GNU, Bash Terminal, QT Plus" (the plus is for everything else)
Never happened
