I bet lots of brainwashed Apple fanbois will use this video as an excuse to give Apple some free advertising for its commercial toy products.

I also bet this comment will be burned in a fiery torrent of fury from those same fanbois.

Dear God, the ignorance on GooTube is astounding. GNU is NOT a "license", you twit. The *GPL* is a license, *GNU* is an OPERATING SYSTEM.

Here, see for yourself: "The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop the GNU operating system, a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software ... GNU is often used with a kernel called Linux" ~ gnu.org

Let me say it again: Linux is a KERNEL, not an OS. The OS is GNU.

Period.

If you want to replace GNU then - good luck.

@Homer101010 fanboys* But I totally agree with you, even though I'm on my Mac atm..

@Homer101010 GNU is a license. It's is not an operating system. Also, there are many pieces of software under GNU that have absolutely nothing to do with building an operating system. Any distribution of a Linux operating system will have those packages already installed and configured "out of the box". While they are critical to running Linux, an operating system is not defined by the software built for it. Someone can come up with better packages that replace today's, and yet it's still Linux.

Even on minimal installs you need far more than just Linux to actually do anything beyond initialising the hardware. As a bare minimum you'll need Coreutils and various other GNU packages. In fact, in such a minimal system there's actually far more GNU in there than Linux.

Let's be clear, the OS *is* GNU. Linux is just one of many components. You may as well call the OS "OpenOffice" or "Firefox" as "Linux". It'd make just as little sense. At least GNU/Linux is half right.

Oh and re: hating Microsoft ... what's wrong with hating a criminals?

Next you'll be telling me I shouldn't hate gangsters, because it won't actually stop them. So I guess I should fawn over them instead, like a sycophantic gangster-groupie, right?

Did you miss the whole "antitrust" thing over the last 15 years, or the part where Microsoft was recently exposed (yet again) as a bunch of morally-bankrupt thugs by Barnes & Noble?

Consumers have earned the right to hate Microsoft.

You "develop" for Linux but you don't know a distro compiled for ARM contains the same software as that distro compiled for x86 (barring endian issues, which can be resolved)?

So who's the moron?

This is one of the main benefits of Free Software, and one of the reasons I have no interest in proprietary junk like Photoshop.

The fact is if people are going to switch to an OS that doesn't support their existing Windows software (Windows 8/ARM), they may as well switch to Linux.

@ChronoTriggerMusic

Nope.

@Homer101010 Is there anything more pathetic than allegiance to a corporation?
