It's extremely functional, more than I can say for the modern Windows or OS X desktop.

its a bit far fetched to claim gnome is nsa anyway

>>59824253
ye i know it isn't,but i'm saying it just to piss off the idiots who believe it

I mean ubuntu was literally a botnet even before windows 10 came out

Speaking of them,they're probably gonna modify gnome with the same telemetry BS ...but who the fuck uses ubuntu anyways

And? There are also Linux operating systems without the GNU coreutils. "Linux" is a word that works for both.

>>59828799
Linux is a kernel. There is nothing else that is called "Linux". It's also not a complete operating system. You can't run Linux on it's own. Linux is a kernel; most commonly used with operating systems such as GNU and Android.

>>59828771
Why do uneducated plebians persist in incorrectly referring to the Linux operating system as "GNU"?

>>59828812
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

>>59828831
It's you who is uneducated.
It's you who fell for media brainwashing.
Why don't you call Android just Linux? Because you don't know how shit works and babble what you read on tech illiterate Linux blogs.

>>59828871
>Why don't you call Android just Linux?
Because it has a name: Android. Same reason I call Debian Debian. If I were to refer to a collection of operating systems that use the Linux kernel, I'd most definitely refer to them as "Linux"

>>59828892
See, GNU has also it's name. It had it 10 years before Linux was even written. When Linux was added to GNU, it became GNU/Linux, since both, GNU and Linux are incomplete operating systems.

>>59828914
Nah. Look, I'm not going to waste all day arguing with a freetard zealot. When you're ready to take RMS's cock out of your mouth and admit you were wrong, let me know.

My 1800 dollar laptop has a 970M, 32 GiB RAM, an i7 6700HQ, a 950 Pro nvme drive - and it was actually only $1549 and that was over a year ago

So basically you got a shit rig LOL

>>59829894
>>59829855
also a 4k screen instead of 1080p

>>59829894
It's not my rig, but saying such an expensive laptop is for poorfags is brain-dead. It's also brain-dead to buy such weak specs at that price, but that's not any of my business.

>>59830002

Business computers might not have the right hardware to support gaming.
With gaming laptops you pay for a graphics card and brand name pretty much. I have a standard laptop and games run fine on standard res. I'd have to get a 'gaming' laptop or a really expensive one to run high quality graphics and not lag
