Shouldn't we call this the Gnu stack exchange

  and not call it the linux or unix stack exchange...

We aren't here to ask questions or talk about the kernel

We are here talking about the gigantic suite of free programs

  designed to allow people to use computers, and interact with computers

  with ethical applications, that aren't inherently deceptive.

It should be seen as the ultimate irony, that linux, is the

  common name, but for something completely different, Gnu

which is the basis of "linux" computing in reality, whereas

  the kernel is really small in comparison. It's more like a suite

  of drivers that your real, gnu based software utilizes in order

  to provide us with a complete operating system.

It might seem trivial of course, it's the commonly used term

  to call it linux, and they both work together regardless

  along similar lines to achieve a similar goal,

  but I think it's more important to use language that

  is in the first place, honest, and directly related

  to the significant information in the first place.

I've been starting to study computer science more frequently,

  and have found throughout the programmatic world, a kind

  of systematic misappropriation of language to describe

  all sorts of concepts, which then makes it much more difficult

  to understand more complex subject matter.

I think that fundamentally the ethics of this operating system we all use,

  are absolutely a part of it's programming, and that that is extremely

  important to emphasize.
