 Hello friends so today I have a bit of a rant for you and it's gonna be another rambly type rant video I know it's two in a row, but whatever. It doesn't matter. So I have a discord server and I really like it We've it took me a long time to actually, you know brave enough to set one up because we all know discord communities can be kind of How would you say? Filled with negativity I guess should be the the the nice way of saying it But for the most part the discord server that I've set up has been very very nice We have a lot of really good conversations. You should definitely join it. There's a link below But the point is it's really nice However, every once in a while something something has said that triggers me the GNOME video that I did last week where I was talking about the pronunciation of GNOME and mate and all that stuff was triggered by someone on the discord and Or maybe it wasn't the YouTube comments. It doesn't really matter But the the point is every once in a while someone says something that just causes me to go off and go on a rant and Because it's what I do. I'm making a video about it. So this time I want to talk about GNOME slash Linux versus Linux now if I were a traditional Linux nerd I would go off and talk about how We should all be calling it GNOME slash Linux and if you call it just Linux You're obviously doing it wrong and you're a dumb ass and all this stuff, but that's not my point of view I don't think that way at all instead. I pretty much think that we should just call it Linux I think if you're calling it GNOME slash Linux, you're just confusing people. Yes, that is technically correct It's absolutely correct. It's literally what we're talking about when we talk about Linux for the most part Unless you're talking just about the kernel Because I mean for the I guess before we get into the before it if you don't know when Linux if you just talk about Linux technically where you're talking about is the kernel that the system runs on Everything else together when you combine it all together. It's GNOME slash Linux, but that's really, you know Beside the point the point is is that when we have a we have a vast community of nerds here and there is a small Subsection of that that can't get past this idea that we have to call it GNOME slash Linux And so that's my point of contention Because I think by forcing us to call it GNOME slash Linux We would actually be limiting the number of people who would be interested in using Linux because it's not a good name, right? One of the important things when we're trying to market our operating system to non users of it is Desirability of the name and well, you know, Linux isn't a great name enough itself and argue it either way It becomes way worse when you tack on GNOME slash linux because people just get confused it makes it more confusing and no matter how appropriate or how technically true That that name would be Linux itself is a better brand Than GNOME slash Linux. It just is so we're not going to call it GNOME slash Linux anymore We're just going to call it Linux, which is what most people do anyways But they're to those people who out there who feel the need to constantly correct us when we were talking about Linux Stop doing that because I'm not gonna stop calling it Linux I'm just gonna call it links as much as I want because that's what it is to me. It's not I When I decided to start a podcast back in 2017 with my friend Ricky and when we were looking at names Never once did we decide we were going to call it the GNOME slash Linux cast We just never did because That was a whole it would be hold that would that be a horrible name I mean just be a bad name Of course, we're gonna call it the Linux cast or something with Linux in the name You know, we came up with several different title op, you know options none of them had GNOME slash Linux and it was just Linux and I think that that for most people That makes sense. It makes it simpler. It makes it, you know easier to remember It doesn't involve us Devolving into a Nerd fight over what things technically should be called, you know, so GNOME slash Linux technically true. We're just gonna call it Linux I think we should start a movement. It should be ran rebranded as just Linux now and the end of the day It obviously doesn't matter what you call it But for me, it's always just gonna be Linux. So that is a really short video for today Thanks everybody for watching you can follow me on Twitter at Linux cast not at the GNOME slash Linux cast But just at the Linux cast you can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast You can let me know in the comments below if you like the new specs. They're actually not new I've had these things for ages, but everything was getting blurry So I decided to pull them out so that I can actually see things Anyways before I go I'll let take one thing my current patrons Devon Chris east coast web gen 2 is fun to petrical Primus Marcus Megalyn Jackson at tool Steve a today Mitchell Art center Emma Tass Merrick camp Joshua lead a dog a BS views Brock and Peter a I Wonder if it was the glasses that maybe actually be able to say that all in one breath. It actually went really well that time Anyways, thanks for watching. We'll see you next time
