I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.

Linux all the way. Stallman made GNU look like a bunch of weirdos to me.

Remember the Stallman quote about GNU plus Linux? Started with, "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux...."

Apparently, Stallman never said that.

Linux doesn't require gnu though

When people talk about Linux, they are generally referring to both though (yes, I know there are exceptions to this). Android uses the Linux kernel, but no one calls it "Linux".

There are people that don’t refer to Android as Linux?

[-] ShadyGrove@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So...maybe we should have a way to differentiate Android from what people mean when they talk about Linux distros. I propose GNU/Linux.

I do, because it is. OSX is also a *BSD.

[-] ShadyGrove@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's fair, but most people don't.
