Why are other Operating Systems which include GNU software not called "GNU/..." ?
Why is it called GNU+Linux?

In this video I explain the naming controvercy, the origins of the GNU operating system, it's relation to Linux and other operating systems.
I also explain the terminology on what it means to be an "operating system", and how that relates to a kernel.
I also explore a double standard some people hold regarding calling GNU+Linux as just "Linux". And how that relates to other operating systems like Android and Mac OS.

0:00 intro

0:30 why is GNU+Linux called a GNU system
3:00 people's misunderstanding about compilers

5:00 Other operating systems may include some GNU software
7:02 origins matter
8:15 Debunking the GNU/Linux/KDE/Firefox/etc... mockery
9:22 misunderstanding that GNU is just another software

10:47 solutions to a difficulty pronouncing
13:15 continuing with difficulty pronouncing
14:06 excuses for not saying GNU+Linux, really they want to distance OS from it's philosophy

16:12 back to other operating systems including GNU software.
16:50 reminder of what's really important for the naming

17:41 A kernel is not an operating system (intro)
18:18 What a kernel it actually is? not an operating system
18:52 Kernel is still important. And there are variations of GNU.

19:39 Stupid definitions vs proper definitions, "operating system"
21:14 Examples of what "operating system" means.
22:14 Double standard: Linux is supposedly an OS but XNU apparently isn't

25:02 hypocrites have a double standards
26:11 Even Android isn't "Linux" despite the kernel being so important to them
27:00 Idiots! Idiots everywhere!

29:42 Double standards are for those who are wrong
31:35 people who are right don't need lies and deception.

33:09 I have the history along with facts and logic on my side.
34:10 for the few people who really find it difficult to pronounce, there are solutions
