I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.
Linux all the way. Stallman made GNU look like a bunch of weirdos to me.

They are mostly weirdos, and Stallman surely is one.
But people who are right early are generally weirdos.
People who are early are generally weirdos regardless of how right they are. He happened to be though.
Remember the Stallman quote about GNU plus Linux? Started with, "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux...."
Apparently, Stallman never said that.
Linux doesn't require gnu though
When people talk about Linux, they are generally referring to both though (yes, I know there are exceptions to this). Android uses the Linux kernel, but no one calls it "Linux".
There are people that don’t refer to Android as Linux?
So...maybe we should have a way to differentiate Android from what people mean when they talk about Linux distros. I propose GNU/Linux.
I do, because it is. OSX is also a *BSD.
That's fair, but most people don't.
GNUX!
