List of Linux distributions endorsed by the Free Software Foundation
Thanks for moving this article, but by longstanding consensus operating systems that use the Linux kernel are called "Linux" on Wikipedia, as per WP:COMMONNAME, not "GNU". If you want to change this consensus then the way to go about is not by trying to move articles from "Linux" to "GNU", such as on List of Linux distributions endorsed by the Free Software Foundation. You should read Talk:Linux including all the archives of that page, to get the history of the problem as well as Talk:Linux/Name as this is where past consensuses have been formed. You will also want to read GNU/Linux naming controversy and its talk page as background as well. When you have the history of the consensus read then you can present your case at Talk:Linux to try to convince the other editors that all references "Linux" other than to the kernel itself in Wikipedia should be changed to "GNU". Be advised that this has been brought up dozens of times there, including recently and has always been soundly and conclusively opposed. - Ahunt (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
