We could call it 'GNU/Linux'

• TazeTSchnitzel 4y ago
  I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Emacs/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Emacs plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by Emacs, comprising a full Lisp system.

    I googled for this meme and it turns out it has its own page on gnu.org, "Incorrect Quotation" [1] And while reading that page I realised that I actually work with GNU, not even GNU/Linux, systems in production every day. Because I'm mostly working on applications deployed in clouds: the kernel is managed, and I'm not sure if AWS even promised that EKS runs on Linux and not something entirely else but very compatible. But GNU userspace is definitely there in my containers. [1] https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
