Linux isn't an OS. It's just a kernel, which doesn't do much like it self. GNU is an OS and Linux is one of its kernels.
Yeah thanks sherlock... But it's quite a common simplification and understood by almost anyone.
Edit: I'm sorry – after reading my comment again– that came across quite a bit harsher than it was meant.
I'd argue it was appropriately harsh. God am I tired of seeing "but muh GNU" every time someone calls Linux "Linux."
Is it finally the year of the GNU desktop?
Did you seriously just post a GNU/Linux interjection unironically?
yes...why would that be unexpected, particularly on our free and federated network?
