"Dont you mean GNU/Linux??"

actually i use systemd/Linux

#postmarketOS #Alpine

@cas I'm too much of a pedant to refer to an operating system as "Linux". Linux is a kernel. An OS could be GNU, SystemD, or even Ubuntu. But as a pedant I don't like the "Linux operating system".

I try to be more mature than I once was so I try not to correct people when they use colloquial terms for their OS's. But Android is Linux and it annoys my pedant heart when someone says it isn't "real Linux".

PostmarketOS is also Linux (though not GNU). I love the term SystemD/Linux.

@cas systemd? GNU? Never heard of it.

I use toybox+bionic+linux

@cas

I use flatpak/linux, what you're referring to as "Linux" is just a part of the whole working system...

(That's how much I have memorized and I ain't searching for the rest)

@gloopsies lmfao

@cas actually its called systemd/musl/busybox/flatpak/pipewire/wayland/libadwaita/Linux

@cas From a users perspective its probably either gnome/firefox OS or sway/wezterm/nvim OS

@fossdd @cas I take offence in adding libadwaita in there but not #KDE's #kirigami

@blendergeek android isn't real Linux.

at least not what ships on production phones of the ~2017 era

you're talking 5+ million LoC added to the kernel, and a requirement to run proprietary blobs in userspace for hardware to work.

to be "a linux" i think you need to at least pass the smell test and Android does not

https://github.com/aospm on the other hand though....

@blendergeek @cas Ha ha, the days of an org controlling enough of what could be considered an OS to warrant mentioning their names are IMO over. I would argue that mentioning the Desktop Environment is more relevant than binutils or whatever runs as PID 1.

That being said, I whole-heartedly approve of @cas 's joke just to stick it to those damn FSF zealots who just show their ignorance by parroting GNU/Linux everywhere 😆
