I’ve recently taken to calling it GNU minus Linux.
Are you saying that Hurd will also kill Google/Linux?
What I'm saying is that Hurd is just a kernel in the same way that Linux is also just a kernel
The snark artist in me would say that Linux is a kernel plus tens of millions of lines of code that absolutely should not be in the kernel but are.
Hurd specifically includes a userspace. Its kernel is Mach.
Yeah GNU hasn't really been involved for a long time. It's Mozilla/Linux in reality. Not to mention the totally GNU-free distributions, like Alpine.
The efforts people will go to in order to avoid GPL3. Makes you wonder why?
No, what they're referring to as a GNU/Linux is in fact GNU Hurd.
