I respond to this troll b/c it's an opportunity to say publicly why — in 2015 — I stopped saying “GNU/Linux”.

I say “Linux-based systems” — which I also recommended for SFC's stylesheet.

I ceased saying “ga-new-slash-lynn-ox” when RMS chastised me for saying
“Linux” (but not “GNU”) in a post about VMWare's #GPL violation. I *had* mentioned the GNU GPL, but no GNU software was in their product.

RMS told me I harmed #GNU every time I didn't footnote the word “Linux” & explain GNU/Linux.
