@Suiseiseki @Seirdy the average "gnu/linux" installation is hardly just gnu and linux though, right? I'd say the gnu part is usually the minority, actually.

If you were to take most people's linuxes and remove everything that isn't gnu or linux, it probably wouldn't even boot, and it definitely wouldn't be a practical for anything people would expect of a modern operating system.

I liked the roleplay of the bearded man btw

@Seirdy Yeah, the term basically exists because RMS likes getting credit for things, as far as I can tell. There isn't an argument for it in modern linuxes. As for what's a GNU/linux as people use the term, I think it's basically synonymous with "linux distribution" (or meta-distribution), maybe with the added specification that it should contain primarily free software or separate free and non-free into different repositories.

I like "linux distributions" or just "linux" better.

@byterhymer RMS is the original fossbro!

I wasn't around back before the turn of the millennia so I wouldn't know much about what happened then, that's even funnier though if they only tried to claim credit later
