Cuz like, GNU was the thing before Linux, so I'd say that's pretty important.

So say GNU instead of GNU linux kek

[-] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Why? Both parts of GNU/Linux are important. Open source is all about collaboration. It doesn't need to conform to the neat capitalist OS ideas with one monolithic corporate creator and one user-friendly name.

Some people call just linux so.... Also GNU is easier to say than GNU/Linux right? Thats the same argument made by people who say just "linux".

Open source is all about collaboration

Free software is all about freedom. Nothing wrong with any of them tho

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
