I'm not sure what you mean, as GNU/Linux is always GNU/Linux, BusyBox/Linux is always BusyBox/Linux and GNU has been going strong for more than 40 years - it'll outlive Linux too.
If you don't like pronouncing the slash, you can do with +, or "with" or LiGNUx or if your goal is the shortest name possible, just GNU alone is shorter than Linux.
If something majorly changes, you should change the name to suit the change, rather than naming it as previously.

That would be very confusing and contradictory.
It's very odd to distribute mainly GNU and Xorg (and sometimes wayland) and a DE etc, with usually a copy of Linux (but not always - the Gentoo stage3 contains GNU but not Linux) and then refer to that as distributing Linux.
If you really wanted to make a landing page, two titles that would cause the least confusion would be; "Linux" and "Operating Systems with Linux as the kernel".
Then the Linux article can point out that Linux is a kernel and the latter article can list distributions like Debian GNU/Linux, Arch systemd/Linux, Guix GNU/Linux-libre, Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre, ChromeOS GNU/Linux and Android.
