Apparently it is an incorrect quotation. See: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
Oh, so it actually is GNU operating system. And the thing that I'm using is then Linux operating system, with some GNU tooling. So the quotation is not only overly pedantic, but also wrong.
The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
I suggest we call it Linux for short. Good thing you can use Linux without GNU.
wtf quotation
Update: New definition for the Linux trademark and related terms!
As Linux is enjoying wider adoption among less technically inclined individuals, we are making changes to what we call the project and key components to make referring to them more straightforward and avoid gatekeeping.
Major changes:
Term Meaning in versions up to 6 Meaning in versions 7 and up Linux LT's project of an open-source OS kernel OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities Linux kernel redundant LT's project of an open-source OS kernel Linux without GNU redundant OS based on the Linux kernel without GNU utilities GNU/Linux OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities deprecated Linux distro Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities Please make sure to update corresponding API calls and documentation when upgrading to kernel 7.x. You will be able to use deprecated terms during support periods on kernel versions 6.x.
Bug report:
version 7.x removes nomenclature for current distros using alternative userspaces, such as musl + busybox (Alpine)
Need an extended term for these situations, or "Linux distro" should be reverted to version 6.x
LINUGNUU - Linugnuu is not using gnu's not unix's utilities
lol this is hilarious.
20y ago I attended a talk by him which I still remember. I completely stopped using windows after that.
he was on the GNU/Linux name rant back then as well. he also had a huge floppy disk he put on as a halo and paraded around as saint iGNUcious.
interesting talk and entertaining
I get that it's a bit dated and newer more feature-rich tools are available now, but what's with all the hate for transmission? It was plenty fine until qbitorrent came around.
Linux saves the day once again:-)
That's why I avoid wrestlers
