Why are yall so mad about GNU and Free Software movement that it has started? Do you prefer to go to the old times? Apple microsoft fanboys?

Doing an entire OS and library to not use GNU it's like Apple doing the LLVM to not having to use the GCC. Instead you could be helping in the free software movement and development, but you prefer to go into a GNU vs. Linux fight.

The war should be all the free software movement vs the companies fake open source shit.

This is a joke. Most people are not remotely concerned about these things.

For real why are people so hyped about having less software built by people principled in protecting their freedoms?

GNU and the FSF are awesome!

Word. Running eyes wide open into oblivion. GNU is a big part why our system is as superior as it is.

This post has nothing against GNU. It's just a way to bash on annoying linux bros who want to correct everyone.

It's just funny to annoy people who insist on using GNU/Linux

Because it's being pedantic and it's being wrong. And that's annoying.

Software is not named by the compiler used or the tools included in the end package.

GNU project is not just compiler. Is isn't just Emacs either.

IDK, but I think it’s cool that people have the option. Maybe if you’re just coming up with new ways to do the same things, if they turn out to be better GNU can take inspiration and other distros can switch, benefitting everyone. Or it could just be as a fun hobby, many people do these sorts of things just because it’s what they enjoy doing. I guess it might be the sort of thing you do just to see if it can be done.
