No. It is called GNU/Linux. Linux is the kernel, not the operating system. You can believe that only RMS calls it this, but you're lying if you go around telling other people.
And "Only a Sith speaks in absolutes" is itself an absolute statement.

I enjoy it when people feel the need to educate me on things I know. However, insisting on it being called "Gnu/Linux" is being pedantic; to the vast majority of the world, it's Linux. If you go around calling it GNU/Linux, and trying to educate people on the why it's called that, you're going to lose a lot of people because you're missing the forest (a free operating system) for the trees (the individual components.) The FSF suffers from poor marketing. Your mission would be better served by people who understand how to get people to care rather than pointless nitpicking of facts. >And "Only a Sith speaks in absolutes" is itself an absolute statement. The actual quote is "deals in absolutes".
