I use LinuSystemWaylanKDEdDx btw
Sure, Linus and Richard get praised for making GNU Linux. But when I tried to make by own, the zoo kicked me out of the water buffalo enclosure.
The hard part is getting the USB stick in.
What you're referring to as Linux is actually SystemD/GRUB/GNU/Linux/Wayland+Pipewire+XDG/{Desktop Environment | Window Manager Stack}
Far more valid than Stallman's coat-tailing.
Imagine thinking that the guy who invented the concept of Free Software and built an entire compiler toolchain and userspace is "coat-tailing" on the guy who only made a kernel.
It's not, because the x in Linus' Unix is not referring to the windowing system:
Linux Journal: Is it true that you suggested the name "UNIX" for the long ago OS, Multics? What does that word mean?
Brian Kernighan: Yes, long ago. Multics was an acronym for something like Multiplexed Information and Computing Service, and it was big and complicated because it had many of everything. I suggested Unics for Ken's new system, because it was small and had at most one of anything. (Multi and uni are both Latin roots, so it was a very weak pun.) Someone else spelled it with the letter X; no one can remember who.
I know one guy who likes putting the letter X everywhere...
DMX?
So that's what his name means. Display Manager for X11.

Are you Gnu here?
what's about linuXorg?
That guy looks like Dr. Kleiner from Half Life 2.
Just without the ridiculous tie.
I agree, GNU/Linux is awkward and dumb.
So I just call it "GNU."
What should I call it, when there isn't anything GNU installed? Uutils? Llvm?
