    What you’re referring to as Linux is actually SystemD/GRUB/GNU/Linux/Wayland+Pipewire+XDG/Desktop Environment Window Manager Stack

      Far more valid than Stallman’s coat-tailing.

        Imagine thinking that the guy who invented the concept of Free Software and built an entire compiler toolchain and userspace is “coat-tailing” on the guy who only made a kernel.

    Sure, Linus and Richard get praised for making GNU Linux. But when I tried to make by own, the zoo kicked me out of the water buffalo enclosure.

    It’s not, because the x in Linus’ Unix is not referring to the windowing system:

    Linux Journal: Is it true that you suggested the name “UNIX” for the long ago OS, Multics? What does that word mean?

    Brian Kernighan: Yes, long ago. Multics was an acronym for something like Multiplexed Information and Computing Service, and it was big and complicated because it had many of everything. I suggested Unics for Ken’s new system, because it was small and had at most one of anything. (Multi and uni are both Latin roots, so it was a very weak pun.) Someone else spelled it with the letter X; no one can remember who.

    I agree, GNU/Linux is awkward and dumb.

    So I just call it “GNU.”
