GNU+Linux - The full Linux Picture

In this video I explain the GNU/Linux meme, and the reason why I will continue referring to GNU/Linux as just Linux.

Today I learned:

We should all leave a single one line comment in the Linux Kernel so that there is always living people who can refuse a hostile take-over of Linux in the distant future.

[TheByzantineEmperor]

Linus Torvalds:

"The whole "Open Source" renaming was done largely _exactly_ because people
wanted to distance themselves from the FSF. The fact that the FSF and it's
followers refused to accept the name "Open Source", and continued to call
Linux "Free Software" is not _our_ fault.

Similarly, the fact that rms and the FSF has tried to paint Linux as a GNU
project (going as far as trying to rename it "GNU/Linux" at every
opportunity they get) is their confusion, not ours.

I personally have always been very clear about this: Linux is "Open
Source". It was never a FSF project, and it was always about giving source
code back and keeping it open, not about anything else."

Tell the whole story 👍

I'd just like to interject for a moment.

What you’re referring to as a Shitpost, is in fact, GNU/Shitpost, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Shitpost. A Shitpost is not a good joke unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU copypasta made funny by the GNU corelib-tards, FSF marketing fails and viral rofl-inducing collection of in-jokes comprising a full train wreck philosophy as defined by Richard Stallman.

[HoppyBrandon]

This was a fantastic explanation, thank you!

Sometimes the basics of Linux bear repeating. Excellent video!

[jyothishkumar]

You missed the GNU C Library, glibc. Alpine doesn't replace GCC with musl libc, it replaces glibc. The compiler is still GCC.

"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.

cd is akshually a shell-builtin, but as a part of bash, it's still GNU

[botowner]

what if a distro uses GNU Hurd instead of Linux. Is it a GNU distro?

[MV-qddv]

Busybox is licensed under GPL it part of the GNU legacy in one way or another

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as sneed, is in fact, sneed’s feed and seed, or as I've recently taken to calling it, sneed’s feed plus seed. Sneed is not a shop unto itself, but rather the name of the shop’s current owner, which used to belong to chuck, thus being called “chuck’s feeduck and seeduck” at some point in it’s history.

Many sneed users run a modified version of the feed system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of feed which is widely used today is often called "sneed", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the seed system, developed by chuck.

There really is a sneed, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Sneed is the owner: the guy behind the counter that allocates the shop’s resources to the other sneeders.

Just a small thing, but please practice prouncing proprietary. You are constantly missing the second "R" and making it sound like propeitary which would mean (if it were a word) "in favour of eating pies".

[ProBarokis]

he said "autistic among us" guys omg !!!

[stingfiretube]

When you use Bedrock OS, that list becomes even larger. Be prepared to name all the distros you have used to build that.

[lucasmoratoaraujo]

Much like Andy and his dundermifflinfinity idea, I think you should put the words together and call it lignux.

[crackpotfox]

It doesn't even make sense to say you run linux because it doesn't fit in with the "other options". OSX and Windows are more akin to saying I run Debian or I run Gentoo.
So when people ask me what's on my computer i tell them Debian Linux.

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as Gnu/linux Is actually called linux Or as i've been personally starting to call it linux With Gnu Seasoning

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.

Generated a song in Sona ai that took that copypasta and made a song of it
