Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we're referring to the whole OS ?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.

No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.

Is GNU really just unix in disguise?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Well, it stands for GNU's Nearly UNIX, so probably

LiGNUx is a hill I'm entrenched and ready to die on.

No. Otherwise where's the limit? GNU/Linux/systemd/Xorg/i3/Firefox/kakoune?
