You’ve probably seen the “I’d like to interject for a moment” quotation that is frequently attributed to Richard Stallman about how Linux should be referred to as GNU/Linux.…
Idk, but all the cool kids that started doing it are old
Really though, if you want to mark a proper line between them, Linux is the kernel+a certain few libraries, and nothing more.
At one time, almost everything else was GNU. A lot of code has been written since then by folks who neither recognize nor see a need for the distinction.
All that’s left at this point is politics.
My suggestion is 1. Stop being so fruitlessly pedantic and 2. Don’t worry about it. The statute of limitations has run out ;)
