Why so much terminal padding?
Also you should consider turning off syntax highlighting :^)

Join the church of Emacs, where you can highlight everything as everything else.

(Still haven't figured out the bind to insert an E unfortunately.)

what if you're like me and you dont use a GUI because its a useless process that eats up system resources that could be used for something more important like a web server or a crypto miner?

Mtupid siners. I thought I could afford a nice 1060 (ironically with the Bitcoin I sold). Of course, people mine it when the price goes up.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

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. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Anyways, here's a picture of my GNU/Linux: https://i.cubeupload.com/OXUKXE.png

If I may disagree, coz I do, the purpose of naming something is less about correctly attributing the components of said thing and more about creating simple terminology by which we can refer to that thing. Saying “GNU/Linux” effectively equates to saying “Windows/NT” or “MacOS/Unix”; the difference being that the Linux community chose to refer to its operating systems by its kernel. This doesn't discredit the framework that the GNU project initially layed out, but rather simplifies the language behind it to the term that I'd argue is easier to remember and contextually more recognizable (after all, calling it “Linux” had to start somewhere).

Unhypocritically implimenting this attribution-based naming scheme defeats the point of creating truncated terminology. Here's an excerpt from a book by Bryan Lunduke that I think sums this up excellently:

"Another thing that irks me: being adamant about calling it “GNU/Linux” is making a point that multiple projects and people contributed significantly to whatever Linux distro you are running. Now, I'm all for people and projects getting proper credit. But if we're going to feel compelled to name our Operating System by creating a large list of included project names (with lots of forward slashes) things would get … ridiculous in a heartbeat.
GNU/Linux/Qt/GTK/ncurses/wget/Firefox/GNOME/KDE/GEdit… on and on it goes. Until someone punches me in the nose. To cut all of those projects out of that name would be extremely disrespectful to them."
