Why are gnu fags so salty? Just be happy people use your shit.

how 'bout apl?

Stealth GNU thread, GNU is not OS and even if it were Linux was never intended as a kernel for it.

Because he ooks like Steve Jobs and Stallman looks like Wozniak

Linus BTFO

How does the FSF keep getting away with calling GNU an operating system? If I have four wheels, an engine and a seat but no body to put them into, I don't have a car, I just have a collection of components that can't do anything useful.

If GNU is so important that it MUST be mentioned whenever using Linux then why is GNU able to be replaced, why does it make up such a tiny percentage of the average distro and why couldn't the FSF produce their own Kernel before a student could?

Writing OS utilities isn't anywhere near as much work as writing a kernel and the FSF fucking know it, they should just be pleased that their ideology resulted in a working OS at all, instead of crying about credit.

Stallman pls go

he did the same thing with github
the answer to your question is: he's based like that

Fucking scathing. GCC probably would have been DOA if all it could be used on were proprietary UNIX systems.

Neither are GNU programs without a kernel. Retard.

>newfags still fall for this
You need to go back to the reddit.

It bloody is! An operating system at a minimum operates the hardware so that individual programs don't need to, this is what a kernel does. An operating system is not making free software copies of UNIX programs, that's a utility suite, it makes the OS more accessible to the end user and is therefore only an OS component.

this is a fake reply to the copypasta retard

They have only themselves to blame for not getting the lead out of their asses and developing GNU hurd.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'.
One guy, Linus Torvalds (me), used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). 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.
However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution.
Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

They couldn't because it was the one component that wasn't simply a reversed engineered copy of some UNIX program from the 60s

It's fake senpai. Both Google+ accounts were meme accounts. Also it misses the point. GNU never asked for calling Linux GNU; they ask for calling GNU GNU.

Hello, Kruger! Dunning sends his regards.

Corporate backup and marketing. The point of removing any mention of GNU has always been removing liberty and idealism - things that corporations hate.

Why?
Because Torvalds is a Chad

He is like that high school guy who fucks any girl he wants and doesnt care whether another guy put months of effort to hold hands with her

He knows it's not him who has to have morals... It's the girl, in this case gnu

If you dont like linux you can use Hurd

That's not what happened through. Nothing was stolen or published under a different name. People still use the same GNU system like they did in the 80s, but now, since the 90s with Linux added. It's simply marketing that the combination is called Linux instead of GNU. The same reason why Open Source was coined.

>literally who
Linus himself called GNU "big and professional", you tard. GNU pretty much took over Unix in many places. The GNU tools were just so much better than their equivalents in Unix that, since they were cross compatible, people chose to use GNU's tools instead.

>get cucked out of his life's work by wiccan trannies

it is work, that doesn't make it an operative system like linux is

Only sane post so far

By actually making it work with a good kernel.
Good luck with HURD, fag.

he got rich by getting awarded stock in RedHat before the IPO

Can you retards fuck off with your console war faggotry?

This is fake, Stallman doesnt use social media, so how could Linus be messaging him?

>How did he get away with it?
Seriously do you expect us to believe that a big fat lump of retarded lard such as Stallman actually had anything worth stealing? jesus fucking christ. It is Stallman that is trying to claim Linux as his own fucking work. Put me ans stallman in a room together and I guarantee my arguments would chew him up, swallow him and shit him out, all within 10 minutes.

Pic related, it's stallmanberg

Stallman never claimed that, retard.

stallman's arguments are that his work is the major part of Linux and all that Torvalds added was a kernel, therefore it should be called GNU/Linux, bullshit. Linux is the kernel and should be known as Linux. GNU is simply a distribution

>stallman's arguments are that his work is the major part of Linux and all that Torvalds added was a kernel, therefore it should be called GNU/Linux, bullshit. Linux is the kernel and should be known as Linux. GNU is simply a distribution
kek, nice bait user

This just proves GPL is a cuck license.

you missed the part where GNU's own kernel has been in development hell since the fucking 80s

Nope. 1990. Do your research, retard.

Show me where Stallman rver asked to call Linux GNU. Protip: you can't.

>If I have four wheels, an engine and a seat but no body to put them into, I don't have a car, I just have a collection of components that can't do anything useful.
Nah, with kernel you have a running car, just very crude one. GNU adds convenient stuff like navi, automatic, parking sensors and so on..

Fake and gay.

hey are bitter that HURD failed utterly, totally and completely.
Meanwhile a twenty odd year old is hammering out Redox-OS, a micro kernel OS, from scratch, progressing faster than HURD ever did. And HURD started with L4 as micro kernel. It is rather sad.

Hurd didn't fail. The development simply stopped because Linux was available.
You forget that the goal of GNU is making a FLOSS system, not competition, and with Linux, they could finish it.

You are now aware that there are embedded devices running Linux with absolutely no guhnewshit on them

>tfw the real Linus agreed with it on Google plus and +1'd it.

Nobody ever ask to call them GNU
It doesn't change the fact that Linux is not a complete system, but a system kernel

More like it literally just turns a manual clutch into an automatic. Distros add the navi, parking sensors, reverse camera, etc.

Based. Check these quotes:

>I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got minix.
-- Linus Torvalds

>But in all honesty, I would suggest that people who want a modern "free" OS look around for a microkernel-based, portable OS, like maybe GNU or something like that.
-- Andrew S. Tanenbaum

>>get rich
How? the OS is free.

Look up the Linux Foundation

This, in those GNUless systems, it's not like the whole system is just literally running with just the kernel and nothing else. The arguably-bloated, agurably-featureful depending on perspective GNU utilities are just replaced with something like Busybox.

>Quote from 1992 when Linux was literally less than one megabyte and barely off the ground as a project having any relevance in 2019
That's like saying that Jow Forums is for discussion of anime, and only anime and has no other boards based on a description of Jow Forums from 2003

That just shows you have no idea what Linux is. Linux is 70% firmware and device drivers and that is what has been growing since then and makes the largest part of Linux today.

Companies dislike freedom, so they remove any mention of GNU and free software ideology im their terminology. This is not entirely Torvalds fault.

He has been hacking around with MINIX, thats true, but Linux doesn't contain any MINIX code, according to his mail where he announced Linux.

Terry: wrote a fucking compiler
RMS: wrote a fucking compiler
Linus:

Go ahead and try to operate your computer with just Linux.

It's obviously fucking fake, did any one of you think it was supposed to be real?
Retards fucking leave immediately.

So you're telling me that the original operating system was so shitty that people would willingly pay him to fix it and give it to them for free?

fuck captcha, fuck google, and fuck gook moot for using this garbage.
we should not have to sit through this 20 second wait period for captcha to load a new tile. there should not be a captcha for every fucking post.

You hear this a lot: "A thread died for this." While accurate, this phrase generally carries no weight. But just this once, if you would do me a favor and hear me out, it would do all of us a lot of good.

A. Thread. Died. For this. You woke up this morning, poured yourself a bowl of Faggot Flakes, moistened them with your impotent Faggot prostate milk (which IS in fact impotent, because you're a fucking faggot) and, within seconds, decided that today of all days would be the time you decide to cut your synapse firing quota by just a little too much.

So you hopped online, carved out this uninspired chicken scratch, probably failed the captcha once for every strand of peach fuzz on your half-empty sack, and clicked Submit.

At that moment, a thread died. A thread that could have been bumped. A thread that could have been resurrected with content, or valuable discourse between its denizens. Hell, it could've even been bumped for absolutely no reason. And that would've been okay. Because, had it survived, a few more seconds could have been spent without having had your abortion of a post been born in this world.
