It had to be done.
I personally like the one where they hear about linux without gnu and just die. Very enjoyable. I expect a good continuation on gnu hurd & gnu without linux eventually.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as dying, is in fact, cardiac arrest/asphyxia, or as I've recently taken to calling it, CA plus asphyxia.
I cannot wait until GNU HURD is ready and the GNU/Linux crowd migrates to it.
The rest of us can then replace Glibc with musl, GNU utils with UUtils, GCC with Clang and we will not have to listen to this GNU/Linux crap anymore.
I mean, all the GNU stuff is great and I use them all the time. But it is ridiculous in 2026 that people want to brand the entire OS with the makers of 3% of the packages (all of which have world-class alternatives). Especially since almost all of those packages are majority authored by Red Hat.
GNU is great and massively important historically. But the end of the GNU/Linux nonsense cannot come fast enough.
