I've seen this hotly debated before. We don't tend to do so here, but you should see it when folks on sites like Slashdot get their hackles raised. I think (and I'm picking these words with care) the most passionate side of the debate is those who advocate calling it "GNU/Linux". Those folks can be pretty determined.
The thing is, they're kinda right. Other than a few exceptions, it really is GNU/Linux. Technically speaking, GNU is responsible for more of your OS components than the single kernel that is the Linux part of your operating system. As a whole unit, it's really "GNU/Linux".
So, I wanted to make it an interesting article and I realized that this was a prime example for using AI (specifically chatGPT) - though I didn't pose the question you might have expected me to ask. I think it made for an interesting article. It's long... It's really long... I've also been wondering about mixing in some longer articles, some with more details and information. Covering the quick and easy stuff is fine, but smashing the keyboard for long periods of time is something I'd like to experiment with a bit more.
Nope, you will not need a terminal for this article. You won't need anything but your browser - and maybe a desire to respond. After all, it's the first real article after the site's second birthday. Feedback is definitely appreciated for this article. For better or worse, this is a subject on which anyone can opine.
