Say it with me:
Gentoo BSD/Linux

>having the freedom to use whatever software i want is bad even if i know free software should be the standard

Listening to rms is fun, but he is extreme as fuck.

Fat communist cuck.

>>58963285
rms's point is that Gentoo shouldn't spend their resources packaging and hosting the ebuilds for nonfree software. If the users really want to use nonfree programs they can install them manually.

>>58963373
No-one cares what king freetard's point is. He's autism incarnate.

>>58963373
In his last line, yeah. But they have the freedom to do so. Similarly, Gentoo's maintainers/devs have the freedom not to call their distribution GNU/Linux.
In fact, referring to Gentoo as GNU/Linux by default is inaccurate as well, since it isn't by any definition a "GNU" distribution until you as the installer make it so.

RMS goes on and on about freesom. But only his specific infallible brand of freedom is "free". He doesn't want you to have the freedom to do whatever you want, he wants you to have "freedom" his way, and his way only.

It's so fun that the FSF loves to pretend that GNU is an operating system. Go to the BSDs and see what an operating system is: it is the whole, self-contained package. A set of POSIX compliant utilities is NOT an operating system. The ""system"" doesn't have the most essential components, starting for the motherfucking kernel (oh yes... HURRRRD), the installer, a fucking init system, and package manager.
GNU is literally scattered software.
GuixSD is an operating system, indeed, but ""The GNU operating system"" is a huge overstatement.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
