Can someone explain to me why people get upset about it being referred to as gnu+Linux or gnu/Linux? I'm not the most techy person, so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but like, objectively, isn't it just as much gnu code as Linux?

Again, not super techy, so please explain it to me like I'm the average Facebook aunt.

Everyone has to hate something to feel better about themselves. I've tried alpine and no thanks. Its great if someone likes it but I'll just stick with what has been working for nearly 20 years.

I admit I don't know much about it, but I got the impression that it's great when you need a very minimal Linux system, like for Docker containers.
