The website certainly is a nightmare.

Bentley Barnes
I disagree
Nathaniel Edwards
it sounds so bad that it will probably be a success

Nah, the proper name is Linux/GNU, Stallman comes second.

Exactly. it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. An operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies the strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted.
>Is this a nightmare come true? Ubuntu, Debian and ZorinOS are pretty much extern os. Linux is dying. We need some Ubuntu replacement that is easy for normies and has independent development

Autism from the community killed Ubuntu. They don't want Linux popular on the desktop. F.
Ryder Gomez
Desktop Linux is already a nightmare.

It looks much more better and pleasing for eyes than W10, still.

Amazon botnet integration killed Ubuntu. People fled in droves.

>Proprietary GNU/Linux distribution That's a GPL violation, buddy. That's a no no.
