    As far as I know Torvalds is a guy

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX...

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

    I'd say non-binary.

    @Zohiu at least until you compile it. Then it is a binary

    @rantsauce hello Mr. Stallman.

    Don't know, don't care. What interests me is that they're an obedient sub. When it comes to computer usage I definitely enjoy being fully in control.

    Linux is a queer theory material, change my mind.

    Remember that one purge movie where the neighbors come in and apparently intend on killing the whole family

    That's about how I look at all these people

    Like pathetic hateful contemptful losers that are hardwired towards desiring to opportunistically harm helpless people

    I like stabbing them 😁

    @ScriptCoded he is making fun of a quote attributed to Richard Stallman. Stallman goes into stroke mode when he hears people call Linux well.... Linux, instead og GnU/LinUX

    @AleCx04 is that because it gives all the credit to Torvalds?

    @AvatarOfKaine I think it is just a matter of not wanting to say the entire thing, its just simpler to say Linux than GNU Linux and people get it. Might take away some of the importance of GNU, but eventually people that get into Linux and those that invest on it on a company wise level know that importance is and should also be attributed to GNU

    @AleCx04 well that's what I meant about the stallman comment most of Linux is gnu software

    It can scale/reproduce all by itself, so it's a hermaphrodite

    @AvatarOfKaine I am not taking credit away from GNU and appreciate it from what it is. But at the end of the day they were lacking a crucial component from their engineering efforts: The kernel. For which even years after Hurd has not been completed.

    Calling it Linux because it is based on the Linux kernel is acceptable, much in the same way of calling BSD based distros just BSD
