What is GNU and what is not these days? Is Wayland? Is GNOME?

Have you checked out Chimera Linux? Should I refer to that system as “the Linux kernel” or “GNU/Linux”? Neither makes sense.

Personally, I find it the most sane to understand that “Linux” is the name of the kernel and a “Linux Distribution” is a curated collection of software that runs on the Linux kernel. GNU Software may or may not be involved.

For me, the whole “GNU/Linux” things has always felt desperate. It is a bit like the 70’s BSD guys says AT&T needed to call their software BSD/UNIX because so many people used BSD stuff on their systems.
