What's the issue with “Ubuntu” so that it needs to be dropped completely? The article only contains:
>It would also be best if you avoid calling it “Ubuntu on Windows”; it isn’t a factually incorrect statement—you are running Ubuntu’s distribution of GNU—but it still avoids mentioning the GNU Project.
- mikegerwitz 11y agoThat statement is the reason. If Ubuntu were called "Ubuntu GNU/Linux", we'd still have a bit of an awkward situation, because there's no Linux involved; it'd be "Ubuntu GNU/kWindows", going by the stated naming convention. So it's not that "Ubuntu" is the problem, per se; it's the lack of mention of GNU. I suppose that's worth clarification in the article.
