Cuz like, GNU was the thing before Linux, so I'd say that's pretty important.

So say GNU instead of GNU linux kek

Why? Both parts of GNU/Linux are important. Open source is all about collaboration. It doesn't need to conform to the neat capitalist OS ideas with one monolithic corporate creator and one user-friendly name.

Some people call just linux so.... Also GNU is easier to say than GNU/Linux right? Thats the same argument made by people who say just "linux".

Open source is all about collaboration

Free software is all about freedom. Nothing wrong with any of them tho
