sunbeam60,

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.

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

    Just to be clear:

    It was actually the young guy throwing the chair in the show. His text is supposed to be saying something angrily at that panel.

    laurelraven,

    Yeah, that part of this meme didn’t make sense to me because of that… Like, he goes from calmly saying no big deal to yelling and throwing a chair in the middle of it for no reason?

    HStone32,

    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”

    pewgar_seemsimandroid,

    calm down before it becomes rocky linux

    LovePoson,

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

    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
