[19:51:55] rdr hello is there really a linux?

[20:03:16] rdr There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system.

[20:07:27] rdr I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "GNU/Linux" is, in fact, systemd/Wayland/Hyprland/PipeWire/Mesa/Linux. Trying to give Richard Stallman top billing for your entire operating system just because his project wrote the ls command forty years ago is wild, especially when half the modern desktop stack has completely bypassed GNU anyway. If we're going to

[20:07:29] rdr name operating systems like a prestigious law firm with every major contributor's name on the door, the boot screen is going to look like the end credits of a Lord of the Rings movie. Imagine rolling up with a musl-based Void setup and someone still tries to hit you with the "Um, actually, it's GNU plus Linux" copypasta—my brother in Christ, the GNU is literally gone, it's just Linux

[20:07:31] rdr and vibes now. Stop trying to make "GNU/Linux" happen; it's the software equivalent of insisting everyone call a car a "Goodyear/Sparkplug/Internal-Combustion/Automobile".

[21:52:51] rdr you have a penguin: 🐧 in your irc/terminal! you are now running elite linux
