Linus is a tech youtuber

Somewhere, Torvalds' ears are burning

That's Sebastian, not Torvalds

I’ve only been using Linux seriously for the last couple of years.

The way I see it, Linux is a kernel AND drivers, GNU is code that can be compiled to build a toolset used to daily-drive the kernel and a distribution is a assembly of kernel, drivers, tools and software (apps).

I’m sure that’s wrong but it makes sense to me.

Most drivers are part of the kernel, so yeah.

GNU is code that can be compiled to build a toolset used to daily-drive the kernel

No idea what that is supposed to mean. GNU is a set of specific software made by the Free Software Foundation, see https://www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs

I think by lines of code I actually am running KDE/Firefox/GNU/Linux.

Exactly, like how android is not linux, it's android

laughs in gnu/hurd

I would agree with the "Linux is an OS" people but they are the same ones who insist that Android isn't Linux which is wrong.

If you agree with the guy on the left, you would also have to call Chrome OS "Chrome OS/Linux" to be consistent. It sounds dumb because it is

seeing your second last image text, I think you're making it seem like those who call GNU/Linux ate pretentious, which is most often not the case.

I say GNU/Linux for ideological reasons. Even GNU website itself says not to force people about it. Debian's official name is Debian GNU/Linux. So, it's not about "sounding smart." there's more to it.

I've worked with linux for 25 years. I use emacs.

Fuck stallman for coat-tailing something successful.

Community rules

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
