Somewhere, Torvalds' ears are burning
That's Sebastian, not Torvalds
I’ve only been using Linux seriously for the last couple of years.
The way I see it, Linux is a kernel AND drivers, GNU is code that can be compiled to build a toolset used to daily-drive the kernel and a distribution is a assembly of kernel, drivers, tools and software (apps).
I’m sure that’s wrong but it makes sense to me.

Most drivers are part of the kernel, so yeah.

No idea what that is supposed to mean. GNU is a set of specific software made by the Free Software Foundation, see https://www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs

Exactly, like how android is not linux, it's android
calm down before it becomes rocky linux
I think by lines of code I actually am running KDE/Firefox/GNU/Linux.
I would agree with the "Linux is an OS" people but they are the same ones who insist that Android isn't Linux which is wrong.
If you agree with the guy on the left, you would also have to call Chrome OS "Chrome OS/Linux" to be consistent. It sounds dumb because it is
seeing your second last image text, I think you're making it seem like those who call GNU/Linux ate pretentious, which is most often not the case.
I say GNU/Linux for ideological reasons. Even GNU website itself says not to force people about it. Debian's official name is Debian GNU/Linux. So, it's not about "sounding smart." there's more to it.

I've worked with linux for 25 years. I use emacs.
Fuck stallman for coat-tailing something successful.
