From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

proper nouns like sed, awk and grep?
Lowercase when referring to the command, uppercase when referring to it as a project or a piece of software as a whole. "grep" is a command with certain behavior; Grep (or GREP) is a tool on Linux.
How does that sound?
There's some reasonable overlap where you might mean one or the other, but to maintain that there's no reason to make it uppercase?
Exhibit A: https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/
