@xj9 I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're referring to as gnu/xorg/systemd/pulseaudio/kde/plasma/pacman/linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, just use those two appleing words.

@hfaust @xj9 No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux?

I will wipe you the Fluffle Puff out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my appleing words. You think you can get away with saying that batcave to me over the Internet? Think again, appleer. As we speak I am building a GUI using GTK+ and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're kiwiing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can decompile you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with m…
