    Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we’re referring to the whole OS ?

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.

      No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.

      LiGNUx is a hill I’m entrenched and ready to die on.
