Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.

And if you're talking about all of those in general, it's just Linux.

Don't you dare to talk about Google Spyware OS in "general" with free OSes

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 0 points 4 months ago

Don't you confuse people with your open os'es by calling them free. No charge is the only real free.

I've come to the conclusion that lumping in Android/ChromeOS to the broad term is a stat padding exercise. It makes the whole of Linux look like it's the most used OS in the world. But I'm OK with if you want to do so.

Call it GNU/Linux or Linux I don't care. I just refer to it as whatever distro I've hopped to for this month. So to me, right now I'm typing this on my laptop running Fedora 40 KDE and my mini-desktop is running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie.

I'm just running Linux. Or for the Linux people it's KDE Plasma. Or Ubuntu with LXDE. Or degoogled Android. Or whatever, these are examples.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
