@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: 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.

@byterhymer RMS is the original fossbro!

I wasn't around back before the turn of the millennia so I wouldn't know much about what happened then, that's even funnier though if they only tried to claim credit later
