I’m not trying to attack him, but this is pretty funny.

Context: 11 days ago DT released a video where he called out the people who refer to Linux distributions as “Linux” as opposed to “GNU/Linux”. Today he released a video where he did exactly that.

    Unless it’s android, saying linux implies the entire community of projects that have become a part of linux.

    GNU was one of those communities but it’s not the only one which is why saying GNU/Linux is stupid lol.

    Gonna start telling mac users to state they use posix /s

    The whole GNU thing has always came off as butthurt from RMS since Linux got all the glory while he and his team of contributors shit the bed on the Hurd kernel.

    Let’s not forget that X.org + all the desktop environments which are very important parts of a functioning OS are not GNU projects either. At what point do we need to say GNU+X11+KDE+Linux?

    All I know is if you say that machine over there runs Linux, I know what you’re talking about.
