| Jul 1, 2013 at 20:53 | comment | added | user26112 | Some of the most important parts of the GNU/Linux OS are provided by GNU (glibc, gcc, etc), but it would be entirely wrong to say "almost everything" on top of Linux is GNU. Most people use Windows because it's what they're used to and they have little incentive to use anything else. Some people don't know that any operating systems other than Windows exist. They are simply "clueless" from our point of view. Red Hat and SuSE don't want to drop GNU from their product names; they don't want to add it. | |
