When this copypasta was first put together, this may have been more true. GNU was a big project, Linux was just starting out. But Linux has grown to be much larger than GNU. 30+ million SLOC from one estimate. GNU can’t get naming rights with some shell utilities and libraries that can be replaced. Why not add Systemd in the name? That seems pretty important. Or we can just stick to calling it Linux, because that’s not a mouthful and sounds nice.
There also, to be honest, been a concerted effort to GNU because they represt libre software as a movement for liberty for users as compared to the open source software movement which gets coopted by corporations WAY more.

I like ‘Glinux d’, the g is mostly silent, the d is not.
