GNL is difficult to pronounce or longer if you spell it.
And the mascot no longer works
What’s wrong with the penguin?
The Gnu
GNULi
Unfotunately, might not mean much to 99.925% of the world.
I’m not sure what the mascot would be. Perhaps a fence, dog poo, lager can or discarded mattress.
I use GNU is not Unix is not Linux + Linux in a distributed form called Fedora using a display protocol called wayland on a Desktop called KDE btw.
or as I’ve come to call it Arch
Umm ackwschually the DE is called Plasma
GNU wasn’t mistaken for Unix though, it was made as a piece-by-piece foss replacement for all the proprietary Unix tools. Everything about this meme is wrong!
Absolutely. Gnu was made to be specifically different from Unix which was becoming locked down by AT&T copyrights. Gnu wasn’t Unix, and therefore still isn’t.
More semantically than some other answers, GNU software is generally on Linux computers, so if GNL was Not Linux, than it would be even more confusing for it to be on a Linux computer.
I think if you need to make the destiction, GNU+Linux is probably the best option for the whole software set and kernel included and if you want to talk about the operating system, I think naming your distribution and following it up with “a distribution of Linux” would be the most accurate, if you are in a situation where accuracy counts.
I use Arch, btw.
I use Arch, a distribution of Linux, btw
Linux Is Not UniX? Linux?
Linux is Unix like but not Unix
When I am emperor of earth, recursive acronyms will be outlawed. Start prepping now.

Ah yes, the highly-demanded name change people are definitely arguing should happen
