@waltercool @freetar @waifu glibc is part of GNU, thus that would be redundant.

The operating system is GNU. One of the kernels is Linux.

Another is GNU Linux-libre, another is GNU Hurd.

Linux is not an OS, as it does not *operate* on its own - a fact.


If you want to refer to the OS, correctly that would be GNU.

But we're not spiteful curs and refuse to credit Linux for Linux - unlike the spiteful curs that refuse to credit GNU for GNU - thus the OS is called GNU/Linux.
