Gregory's Server@Seirdy Yeah, the term basically exists because RMS likes getting credit for things, as far as I can tell. There isn't an argument for it in modern linuxes. As for what's a GNU/linux as people use the term, I think it's basically synonymous with "linux distribution" (or meta-distribution), maybe with the added specification that it should contain primarily free software or separate free and non-free into different repositories.
I like "linux distributions" or just "linux" better.
@lunacb Yeah, basically. Though I am LOLing at the idea of referring to RMS as a "fossbro".
RMS's insistence on usage goes back to at least 2000 with this friggin thing: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html
Prior to that, it was extremely uncommon to hear anyone utter or write GNU/Linux as far as I recall? Just "Linux".
I also never recall hearing GNU/IRIX uttered even if maybe peeps ran gcc on IRIX?
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD (FreeBSD kernel, GNU userland) exists & I still know no one who uses it.
