Linux isn't an OS. It's just a kernel, which doesn't do much like it self. GNU is an OS and Linux is one of its kernels.

Yeah thanks sherlock... But it's quite a common simplification and understood by almost anyone.

Edit: I'm sorry – after reading my comment again– that came across quite a bit harsher than it was meant.

I'd argue it was appropriately harsh. God am I tired of seeing "but muh GNU" every time someone calls Linux "Linux."

put some respect in your voice when you speak of our lord and savior ;-)

Did you seriously just post a GNU/Linux interjection unironically?

[-] g8phcon2@teacup.social 3 points 1 year ago

yes...why would that be unexpected, particularly on our free and federated network?

Is it finally the year of the GNU desktop?

Considering that Hurd is still not finished what other kernel does GNU use other than Linux?

[-] g8phcon2@teacup.social 2 points 1 year ago

HURD is the default GNU kernel. From what I here there are also GNU systems running on BSD'd stuff, and I suspect they're are many GNU systems running with Kernels users have created themes, whether for very specific use cases or just for fun. I recall following someone's blog an Diaspora* about the latter a year ago until she got bored with it.
