Linux is a kernel. GNU is a set of utilities to be used with a kernel. GNU does not need the Linux kernel specifically and the Linux kernel does not need GNU. This isn't complicated

It's just a name, calm your tits. Some call it Linux other call it GNU/Linux, but we all know that those names refer to desktop operating system. You can call it whatever you want.

Linux on desktop is ok, it has some problems but it's still usable and more so than windows. There are a lot of corporations and government institutions that use Linux on desktop. VFX industry is a great example of that. Last time I was watching Weta VFX videos I saw them use KDE. Also in science Linux on desktop is quite common too, look at CERN or NASA, Linux desktops everywhere.

As for "freetards" problem, it's just obvious shitposting, learn to filter it.

GNU is
>The system's basic components include the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU C library (glibc), and GNU Core Utilities (coreutils),[8] but also the GNU Debugger (GDB), GNU Binary Utilities (binutils),[32] the GNU Bash shell, etc.
Linux is
>The Linux kernel is a monolithic Unix-like computer operating system kernel.

These two form an operating system.
GNU/Linux

Now, fucking mods delete this shit.

It's time to face the facts. Richard Stallman is nothing more than a whining, overly obese autistic manbaby who has not done anything beneficial for the computing OR technology world in the past 20 years. Seriously. Name something that RMS has done after 1995 besides bitching, crying, and moaning about bullshit that does not matter, or making some retarded, incomprehensible speech.

He demands that Linux be called GNU/Linux. That is fucking insane. The only reason GNU, GPL, and FSF are still a THING is because of Linus and the invention of Linux. He saved their sorry asses from being dug into the ground. If anything, it should be Linux/GNU, because without Linus, the GNU, GPL, and FSF would NOT BE A GOD DAMN THING ANYMORE.

Stallman still has the fucking gonads to act like he's superior to everyone else. Saying shit such as "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone" right after Steve Jobs' death. What a fucking asshole. Stallman has not even programmed a single line of code since 2008, that was AFTER he essentially stopped in 1992.

He should be fucking grateful Linus stepped in to save his ass, and even allowing him to take partial credit for his achievements. If it wasn't for Linus, he would be nothing, he would probably be dead in a Burger King dumpster right now. Not to mention, he's a fucking fraud.

He claims to have written eMacs, but in reality he actually cloned gosmacs (the first eMacs that was made for UNIX). He didn't even write 50% of the code in eMacs.

You might say he wrote GCC and GDB, but the truth is that he initally wrote the C compiler, but now the vast majority for the same compiler is done by contributors.

He's a washed up, morbidly obese man who tries to stay relevant by having these retarded arguments that are similar to those found in the Soviet Union. Face it GNU/Freetards, Richard Stallman is a fat dickhead, and the only reason his name is still in the books is because of Linus. What a fucking faggot.

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.

>3000 games with Linux support on the Steam catalog

haha

>>59861629
There are plenty of games on Linux. You have Steam and GOG. There are also emulators for most of the consoles and wine performance is getting better with every update. Now if you need to play latest "Call Of Fags: Return of OP", you might run in to some issues since they rely on new "Windows technologies" not yet well supported in Wine. But claiming that there is serious gaming problem in Linux is just a shitty excuse to use Windows.

OK if you want to be consistent, start calling Mac OS X / OS X / iOS / macOS 'Darwin', start calling Android 'Linux', start calling Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 'Windows NT'.

In the meantime, I'll just keep calling Linux Linux (i.e. the operating system, the kernel) and GNU/Linux GNU/Linux.

But you are retarded enough to play games all day? There are things other than playing games that you can do with your computer. Perhaps it's time to reconsider your priorities? You are a great example of average Windows user. Your brains are fucked to this point that not being able to receive instant stimulation provided by your games causes extreme discomfort and pain.
