: The "Linux" vs. "GNU/Linux" debate has been going on as long as I've been using Linux (that's 13 years) and probably even longer than that.
I'd like to suggest that this isn't a terribly productive discussion or one that's likely to 1) change anyone's mind, 2) change anything, and 3) do anything to further adoption of GNU, Linux, open source, free software, and/or openSUSE.
Some people feel very strongly for using "GNU/Linux," and others are just as passionate against it. It's pretty much something we need to agree to disagree on, or it's going to be divisive and not productive in terms of being effective ambassadors or promoters of openSUSE. I'm sure that's not the goal here.
Best,
Zonker I absolutely perfectly agree with you on that. Unproductivity of this discussion is purely obvious. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
Not to pour gas on the fire, but when I hear GNU/Linux, it always brings up Debian to my mind and Stallman pushing for people to say that way. I think the public knows linux as linux.
