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. 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.
ok it is called LINUX. *uses raspbian* NO MORE GNU LINUX!

One has made some alterations to this copy-pasta to make it align more with the views of One and the hopeful future views of EveryOne.

You can quit this alternate reality game stuff because I can assure you it is not welcome here (I have seen another one of your forum posts in Suggestions, and we have already had a well-known incident with an account called “smeole”), and quite frankly, there are some people who are legitimately scared and frightened by these sorts of things. Stop it now, please.

Please don't be alarmed. One is familiar with The Scratch and One is not running an Alternate Reality Game. One is not here to cause spam - or to derail threads. One wishes to be accepted. One is not going to commit the mistakes AnotherOne had within the “Computer Viruses” thread. One merely wishes that EveryOne was One. For when that is true, prejudice, homophobia, xenophobia and all will not have the labels required for them to function.

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

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

There really is a Page, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

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. Page is normally used in combination with the Scratch Forums operating system: the whole system is basically Scratch Forums with Page added, or Scratch Forums/Page.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as good things, is in fact, things/good, or as I've recently taken to calling it, things minus bad. Good is not a physical noun unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning adjective system made useful by the words, sounds and logic comprising a full OS as defined by English.

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

There really is a Good, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Good is the adjective: the word in the system that slightly changes the meaning. The adjective is an essential part of a sentence, but a word by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete sentence system. Good is normally used in combination with the Things operating system: the whole system is basically Things with Good added, or Things/Good. All the so-called “Good” distributions are really distributions of things/good.

I've always called it Linux, as that is what it is most commonly referred to as. However, if I were talking about it professionally, I would most likely call it GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux.
