Schooling a Beta GNUtard on Linux

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Can't wait to interrupt people with "Actually it's GNU+Windows"

[leviticus]

It is official. Luke has made his first batch of moonshine in the backwoods. And let me be clear. Moonshine Good.

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

"I use GNU as my operating system, " I state proudly to the disheveled, poorly shaved soyboy. He swivels around in his gaming chair with a jealous gleam in his eyes, ready to womansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "GNU is just the utilities. You use Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use GUIX GNU/Hurd, a distro that doesn't include the Linux kernel, or any other Linux code. It's GNU, but it's not Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT'S HOSTED ON LINUX SERVERS! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL LINUX-BASED!" Coolly, I reply "If Microsoft's website were hosted on GNU/Linux, would that make Windows Linux?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being done on GNU Hurd to make it more independent. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've mansplained him to death.

For real, maybe if Stallman had chosen a name half as catchy as "Linux, " we'd be saying that instead.

[DavidJBurbridge]

The GNU/virgins must fear the Busybox chads with their big musls

[ard-janvanetten]

the kernel is already compiler agnostic, you can already use clang to compile the kernel

[Abradrake]

Isn't the whole "you use GNU+Linux, Linux is just a kernel" thing like saying "you don't sleep in a bed, you sleep in sheets and a bed"?

[TheAntiCasper]

I'd like to see a full theatrical performance on that subject

[tonymiller]

I was building a container using Alpine when I decided to watch this, what a coincidence.

[joriskbos]

What? Since when do you do video editing?

[anatolystepanovichdyatlov]

I just heard Richard Stallman throwing his T60 to the wall. The wall is now gone.

[pablo]

Great timing Luke, just when I uninstalled my totally not bloated GNU/Emacs.

[vitezhrabri]

I was drinking water when watch this it doesn't go so well

[UNRS]

You grow more and more protestant with every day, Luke.
