GNU/Linux naming convention

How do you name your favourite OS ?
GNU/Linux ? Linux ? GNU + Systemd + Linux ?

I try to call it GNU/Linux as often as I can but sometimes I just say Linux because it's simpler to pronounce…

My normies friends just call it Linux (they don't even know what GNU is)

My Holla Forumsy friends tend to call it Linux too

Oh ess ecks

I call it GNU/Linux when the kernel itself or some Linux-based system that doesn't contain GNU has or might come up, or when I'm writing up a FSF-tier rant.

I started saying Gnu-Linux to be specific once Android become popular, since it leaves out Gnu.

OpenBSD

I run the Arch Lignux operating system.

Windows
I call the other UNIX clone kernel made by some Fin coupled with the OS made by some Jewish autistic that everyone seems to be obsessed with on this board "GNU" that's it. Sometimes when I try to get a message across to less-than-tech savvy people I just call it "The GNU Operating System" unless I am referring specifically to the kernel

OP this is akshully the proper naming convention/practice.
Also, "Slackware".

GNU/Gentoo

GNU/Linux

Casually, there's nothing wrong with just "Linux". Formally, UNIX-likes, *NIX, or GNU/Linux are better depending on the situation. There's really no reason to insist on saying "GNU/Linux" because you can use another userland. The important part is Linux.

You can use another kernel too, though. Consider Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, for example. That's probably more similar to the usual GNU/Linux experience than a GNU-less Linux system like Alpine or Android is.

GNU/10 with RedHat SystemD Plus! for Spergs!

Didn't RMS originally suggest "Lignux", rather than GNU/Linux? I can remember reading that somewhere.

I call if "FreeBSD"

I call it e.g. "Ubuntu Mate" or "Debian Gnome"

Will Stallman ever admit the reason most people still use GNU shit is the same reason people still use Windows shit? Nobody likes GNU crapware.

I prefer the GNU OS over any proprietary Unix system. Only The free BSD implementations compare to the GNU OS.

I call it Linux when I want to emphasize the kernel, Systemd when I want to emphasize the state of modern distributions, and Linux when I want to emphasize the family of operating systems that use Linux as a kernel.

I call it GNU Plus Linux and then name the distro, version of the distro, DE, WM, and whether it's installed on a laptop or desktop. Every time.

If you don't you're a pleb normie

yeah how about no

I don't call it GNU/Linux. I don't care how great RMS is, GNU/Linux sucks to say, and Linux is more clearly identifying to your average dude. Also he is such a dick head about it. As an example: youtube.com/watch?v=radmjL5OIaA

That video is really long, but they had to rename the show that week GNU/LAS, and when they accidently say Linux he stops the show to ask what they're talking about.

Words have meaning. Using the wrong word changes the meaning of what you say. Please don't spread confusion by using the overloaded name of "Linux" to refer to both the OS kernel program and an OS that relies upon the Linux program as the kernel. If you strictly define Linux as only the kernel program, then there is no such confusion.

I use GNU/Linux.

Unless someone is specifically referring to the kernel only, it is GNU/Linux.

To call the OS Linux is like the lazy retards who say "app" instead of "application program".

Bubba told me about them operation systems.

If I'm talking to people who know the difference, I call it GNU/Linux. If I'm talking to normalfags, I just call it Linux so as not to confuse them and turn them off the idea of using it.

That looks like a picture of lug nuts. Don't have nothin' to do with no operatin' systems.

lol you guys are such horrible people, how can you stand not crediting all the main programs that make up your complete operating system?
and how can you excuse not being specific about your system since theres such a large variation?

i ONLY refer to it as :

Gnu plus Linux plus grsec plus systemD plus Xorg plus KDE plus Plasma5 plus PulseAudio

GNU/Linux.

What we say is that you ought to give the system's principal developer a share of the credit. The principal developer is the GNU Project, and the system is basically GNU.

If you feel even more strongly about giving credit where it is due, you might feel that some secondary contributors also deserve credit in the system's name. If so, far be it from us to argue against it. If you feel that X11 deserves credit in the system's name, and you want to call the system GNU/X11/Linux, please do. If you feel that Perl simply cries out for mention, and you want to write GNU/Linux/Perl, go ahead.

Since a long name such as GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv becomes absurd, at some point you will have to set a threshold and omit the names of the many other secondary contributions. There is no one obvious right place to set the threshold, so wherever you set it, we won't argue against it.

Different threshold levels would lead to different choices of name for the system. But one name that cannot result from concerns of fairness and giving credit, not for any possible threshold level, is “Linux”. It can't be fair to give all the credit to one secondary contribution (Linux) while omitting the principal contribution (GNU).

...

If you're trying to promote GNU, then call it GNU. The GNU system.

GNU forms the basis of the system together with Linux. Everything else requires a (Unix) system in place in order to work properly and this is why GNU and Linux are the most fundamental to that system.

Thanks?

Also, you can figure out from context what is meant, you fucking nigger. And it's almost always just going to be linux based operating systems anyways.

I don't even call it "GNU" or "Linux", just Debian, Alpine, Gentoo, etc... The GNU/Linux part is completely redundant, what other OS could I possibly be running? It's like referring to food as "edible food". The term "OS" for me simply and automatically means what the rest of you call "GNU/Linux", I don't even think about it.

And what name would you use for the "Debian, Alpine, Gentoo, etc..." subset of operating systems?

I call it Mint because I'm not a faggot. People should just start calling it by the distro name and shut the fuck up with these autistic quarrels.

Like I said, these are not even a subset, they are simply "operating systems". An example of a subset of operating system would be "Debian or Debian-based systems" - Debian, Ubuntu, Tails, Whonix, etc.
See, there's no need for the terms "GNU" or "Linux" to ever cross my mind, at least not when referring to operating systems. Linux is only the kernel. And GNU is only a specific collection of free software. They are a given, so I don't think about the fact that they are there, only what their version is, like with most other software. When I think of operating systems I think of how package management works, what is the installation and configuration process like, how secure and stable it is, things like that. And so I consider, for example, Debian and Arch to be separate operating systems.

I call it lin-icks

GNU/Linux because I'm a freetard, Linus is a whiny baby, and GNU is a large part of the common distro.

And I just can't go back to calling it Linux knowing Linux is the kernel.

For me, using the name "Linux" for anything that isn't the kernel is inherently confusing. People who do this are intentionally overloading the name to refer to multiple different but related things. There is no way for blame to be assigned properly with such faulty nomenclature.

...

The hosts are stressing me out with their morning zoo hype personas. Gotta side with stallman out of sheer disrespect for the radio format

... I'd do the same.

Who are you quoting?

if those are gnu:
etc.

You're a massive faggot then, like really.

then you'd be running Busybox/Linux

Or Busybox/musl/GNU/Linux, or Busybox/musl/GCC/Linux. Busybox is not enough to replace all the GNU Alpine replaces, and there's still a little GNU left.
