Why are we always arguing about whether it's Linux or GNU/Linux?

why did linus become such a fatty fuck

>>55907440
or just call it linux. Stallman wants to call it GNU/Linux because he is butthurt that linus made a kernel before he did, and feels he needs to take credit for something he did nothing for.

What was complete about it. Emacs doesn't count as a complete os

>>55907775
>make a few computer programs like a compiler and editor but cant make the kernel, the thing that actually makes the operating system work
>some finnish guy and his friends make one because you're too busy adding another game to emacs
>everybody remembers the guy who made the thing that holds the operating system together
>nobody remembers you, except when you start crying about how nobody remembers you

>>55907858
Have you seen some of the things that emacs heathens use that program for?

>>55907440
Why won't we just replace all GNU utilites with BSD? They're better anyways.

>>55907909
i would love an operating system that's pretty much just BSD with a linux kernel

imagine, it would run on anything i couldn't run BSD on

something like that kind of exists already in the form of Minix 3 so it should be possible with Linux, right? Minix now is pretty much just NetBSD with a different kernel

>>55907440
This.

>>55907895
Wasting time configuring it, messing up the config, then starting over, making a cycle of unproductively.

This is why Stallman couldn't complete hurd in the first place.

>>55907440
Nobody argues about it seriously.

>>55907440
Simply put, Linux is a kernel, and GNU is a way of life. I theorize that Microsoft/Apple bribed publishers to focus on Linus so that way Richard wouldn't get any coverage and people would focus on why paid software was better.

>>55907992
>GNU is a way of life
More like a mental illness

>>55907923
This will never happen because of the reliance on glibc

>>55908099
Well there's stuff like Alpine that runs on musl.

>>55908036
Yes, it's a mental illness to want freedom.

>>55908111
And literally zero proprietary software runs on it. I really like Alpine and projects like Stali, but they will never gain any ground because most people don't value program simplicity and code maintainability.

He's basically Chris-chan. I dunno why some people love him so much. Maybe they're just sorry for him...

>>55908186
I don't know why you would use Linux or BSD if you run proprietary programs on it.

It's kind of pointless, because I ran into proprietary Linux software that only worked on one specific version of a specific distro.

>>55908193
>If you don't want to capitalize on your fellow man you're insane.

>He thinks that non-NEETs can just give their hard work away for free
>He thinks that people don't use shitty free software ripoffs of proprietary programs because "t-they just think it's bad cuz they didn't use it yet!"

>>55908698
Everyone is used to tradition, and that's fine, it's part of our capitalist culture. It's also completely fine to think for yourself instead of following tradition and experiment with something new. It's the basis of all progression.

>>55907440
Everyone who uses it professionally calls it Linux. Only /g/ autists call it gnu/linux.

Yeaaah...

>>55908206
Linux is based on Unix. The acronym is accurate, but it's still based on it.

>>55907440
>Why can't we quit being autists and just call it GNU?
Because HURD isn't usable yet. We're stuck with Linus' shitty monolithic colonel for the time being.

>>55908873
Gɴu is Not Unix

>>55908251
Isn't it weird that Linus and RMS are never seen at the same place, at the same time?

>Hurd will never ever be finished

>>55909061
Not really, they greatly dislike one another.

>>55908321
RMS loves Bernie and BLM, he's one of them.

>>55908294
I wonder if any sweethearts ever wrote him

>>55908856
Salty much? Creation tells all about it's creator - Stallman's software was always cluttered and too complex. Torvalds's Kernel is neat, 12-years-old can configure and compile it, and then there is Git, which shoved Bazaar up RMS's ass where it belongs. :)

Is it guh-new or ji-new?

>>55909628
Juh-ew.

>>55909159
I love Linus

>>55909780
he then goes on to say that people should donate to the EFF instead

how could anyone hate him
