Simple solution: call all of it Linux, all the way down the programs and individual files to make everyone angry!

ramble81,

Yo dawg, I heard you like Linux, so I put Linux in your Linux so you can Linux while you Linux.

(On second thought, that sounds a lot like “smurfs”)

Colleague:
“I need to use Linux and my boyfriend suggested I use Ubuntu, is that right?”

Me (screaming internally, deciding on whether to rant on bloatware, on Canonical, on reproducibility, on monetization, on many things wrong with the world, but not wanting to come off as an elitist, nor scare her off the idea altogether):
“… that, that should be fine.”

rostby,

You must drink alot

I would say use Mint, I think nowadays that’s the better beginner distro. Actually it’s also kind of the pro-user distro. Fiddling around to tweak everything and get it just right is fun in your 20s, but when you need to work, have kids and a wife mint is fine 😛

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux

Telodzrum,

Thank you for your service.

I’d like to interject for a moment, what you are referring to as Mexico is in fact the United States of Mexico. A Federation Republic comprised of 31 free and sovereign States each with its own constitution, judiciary, and democratically election Congressional entity. The 31 individual and unique States form a Federation consisting of a bilateral Congress consisting of a Republic Senate and a Chamber of Deputies entrusted with creation of law, imposing taxes, ratifying treaties and international diplomacy. The Federal entity is further comprised of an Executive wing charged with enforcing the laws, emergency dictation and commanding the military. The third and final wing is a Judicial entity consisting of regional courts and a High Court of 11 jurist charged with interpreting any discrepancies that may between the Sovreign States or within the Law itself

So you can say Yucatan is Mexico, the same way Ubuntu is Linux. Or the same way people say Windows, instead of Microsoft Windows NT.

OP is technically correct, but that’s not how people express themselves in real life, there’s an unspoken understanding in the community that when someone says Linux (when talking in a general sense), there’s no way they are referring to the kernel only.

what about alpine?

lseif,

but it was built with gcc ;!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

If your goal is absolutely no GNU Linux, Chimera Linux is your jam.

If using a single program makes a distro part of that program’s organization, then Linux’s name gets really long.

You know what? I’m gonna fucking say it, GNU is a shitty name and that’s why no one uses it! Most people don’t care about credit or accuracy, Linux is just infinitely better than GNU/anything or even just GNU on its own.

KDE Plasma is the OS

Nilz,

I use KDE btw with Arch as my terminal emulator.

Endorkend, to linuxmemes in big deal
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Well, the kernel is Linux and the OS is whatever the distribution or special purpose is called.

There is a distinction as Linux is used in far more than operating systems and at times is run with just the kernel and an application, with no possible interface between any user and application.

Problem is that most Linux desktop users have fuck all clue what Linux is all used for and wouldn't know how to interface with 99% of all the linux running devices on the planet.

badmemes,

But is that really a problem?

Endorkend,
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, since you can also use a different Kernel and end up with something that looks like a Linux distribution, anyone who has ever used common Linux distributions is instantly familiar with, while definitely not being Linux.

Funny, but…

Shyfer, to newcommunities in For all your travel questions related to France : VisitingFrance

One day I need to visit but I’m scared about not knowing French. I’ll need to practice a lot first. I also have no idea how to do the r’s lol.

LovePoson, to linuxmemes in Oh no ...

So it wasn’t just me? I felt like lemmy was 10 times more active than reddit since i switched bc im mainly interested in linux. That should mean most of reddit doesnt care about linux then :/

LovePoson, to linuxmemes in big deal

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

pewgar_seemsimandroid, to linuxmemes in big deal

calm down before it becomes rocky linux

HStone32, to linuxmemes in big deal

Why do you guys insist on calling it GNU/Linux? It’d be like if you called your car a V8, and some weirdo insists you call it “transmission/V8”
