- lucb1e 10y agoRight, well, even on debian.org there is no mention of GNU. For what it's worth, to compensate, I've renamed my Cinnamon system menu to "GNU" (so I have a GNU button permanently visible on the left bottom) because they are indeed underrepresented next to Linux. Only in my /etc/issue I can find "Debian GNU/Linux" but it's still a bit of a mouthful, like saying The United States of North America or something when America is clear enough.
