@themilkman >Fosstards still are ungrateful for it.
"FOSS"tards in fact only really care about trying to be neutral between bootlicking corporates ("open source") and the freedom of free software;

>those people don't want some thinkpad librebooted device
Liebreboot is proprietary software on all ThinkPad's now, thus they certainly don't want that if they want freedom - rather they want GNUboot.

>Linux is now easy to use
The kernel, Linux is in fact quite hard to use, as it always has been, as it's SYSCALL, /sys and /proc interfaces are not great.

Thanks to GNU, thankfully you don't have to worry about using Linux - glibc does all the hard work for you, with the benefit that the software runs just as well on GNU/Linux as on GNU/Hurd.

>their idea of linux is the practical considerations, less nagging and garbage on the screen, smoother, and more privacy are the benefits they are looking for, they couldn't really give any less of a shit about software ethics, let alone software copyright ethics.
Then they shouldn't use GNU/Linux, as the sole reason why GNU exists is to grant the user freedom and any proprietary program added to the system is a perversion that takes the user away from the goal.

>the point of language is to convey an idea
Indeed - referring to GNU as "Linux" conveys a totally incorrect idea as to why the system exists and its goals.

>i understand autism drives you to care about all this stuff
I was professionally diagnosed not autistic.

>you end up making people think you are stupid, because why WOULD they care about specific language,
Yes, stupid people think others are stupid without any self awareness.

They would indeed start to care if it became popular to calls roses "pens", as the end result of grabbing such "pen" would be thorns stabbing you and no writing implement to speak of.

Amazingly, calling GNU, "Linux" sometimes has the same result - if someone grabs a copy of the kernel, Linux - their freedom gets stabbed by the proprietary software and they don't get a OS - rather a kernel that panic()'s on boot.

>they just don't wanna get graped in the ass by MS that's all there is to it.
If you use proprietary versions of the kernel, Linux and call GNU/Linux "Linux", microsoft is indeed successfully graping you in the ass, same as a bunch of other proprietary software companies.

A great example of that happening is Android - for many models, a significant fraction of the price is microsoft's tax for the software patents on FAT32.
