Template talk:Linux people

GNU/Linux
Hi. While updating this template, I've noticed it conflicts with GNU, of whom people would not be happy to notice they are being made part of Linux and not GNU/Linux. Do you mind renaming it to: and changing the title to: "Notable contributors to the GNU/Linux operating system"? Regards, Comte0 (talk) 14:49, 17 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I am not seeing any conflict with GNU, although there is some overlap, which is okay. The use of GNU/Linux in this context would conflict with a longstanding consensus that operating systems that use the Linux kernel are called "Linux" on Wikipedia, as per WP:COMMONNAME and also MOS:LINUX. "GNU/Linux" is considered a minority POV term used by the FSF and its supporters. On Wikipedia the term is only used to describe distros when the distro itself is called "GNU/Linux", such as "Debian GNU/Linux", and then only when referring to the distro itself. - Ahunt (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the answer, I was not aware of the manual of style. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 18:15, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
