r/copypasta on Reddit: I'd just like to interject for a moment.
August 21, 2018 -

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What youโ€™re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as Iโ€™ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called โ€œLinuxโ€, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machineโ€™s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called โ€œLinuxโ€ distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'd just wike to intewject fow a moment. What youโ€™we wefewwing to as Winux, is in fact, GNU/Winux, ow as Iโ€™ve wecentwy taken to cawwing it, GNU pwus Winux. Winux is not an opewating system unto itsewf, but wathew anothew fwee component of a fuwwy functioning GNU system made usefuw by the GNU cowewibs, sheww utiwities and vitaw system components compwising a fuww OS as defined by POSIX. Many computew usews wun a modified vewsion of the GNU system evewy day, without weawizing it. Thwough a pecuwiaw tuwn of events, the vewsion of GNU which is widewy used today is often cawwed โ€œWinuxโ€, and many of its usews awe not awawe that it is basicawwy the GNU system, devewoped by the GNU Pwoject. Thewe weawwy is a Winux, and these peopwe awe using it, but it is just a pawt of the system they use. Winux is the kewnew: the pwogwam in the system that awwocates the machineโ€™s wesouwces to the othew pwogwams that you wun. The kewnew is an essentiaw pawt of an opewating system, but usewess by itsewf; it can onwy function in the context of a compwete opewating system.

What is GNU/Linux Copypasta?
February 23, 2023 - I am not sure of the origin of the GNU/Linux copypasta and since when it came into existence. Some people attribute it to Richard Stallmanโ€™s article on GNU blog in 2011. I cannot confirm or deny that. Iโ€™d just like to interject for a moment. What youโ€™re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as Iโ€™ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

I'm assuming this doesn't need much further explanation, I'm trying to find out where this speech actually came from.

Googling it just gives tons of people quoting it without a source or trolling forums/comment-sections with it.
Wikipedia and Wikiquote don't seem to mention it.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What youโ€™re referring to as Autism, is in fact, GNU/Autism, or as Iโ€™ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Autism. Autism is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called โ€œAutismโ€, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Autism, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Autism is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machineโ€™s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Autism is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Autism added, or GNU/Autism.

I'd ๐Ÿ˜— just like ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘ to interject โ•โ— for a moment โš .

Autism ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™ is not an operating ๐Ÿค– system โ˜„ unto ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ฆ itself, but ๐Ÿ‘ rather ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’ญ another ๐Ÿ”„ free ๐Ÿ†“ component ๐Ÿ™‚ of a fully ๐ŸŒ functioning ๐Ÿ“ฒ GNU ๐Ÿฎ system ๐Ÿ—บ made ๐Ÿ‘‘ useful ๐Ÿ‘ by the GNU ๐Ÿ‘™ corelibs ๐Ÿ˜, shell ๐Ÿš utilities ๐Ÿ’ก and vital ๐Ÿ† system ๐Ÿ—บ components ๐Ÿ“ค comprising ๐Ÿ˜ต a full ๐Ÿˆต OS ๐Ÿ…ฑ as defined ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž by POSIX ๐Ÿ’ฆ.

Through a peculiar ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ƒ turn ๐Ÿ”„ of events ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽˆ, the version ๐Ÿ“ผ of GNU ๐Ÿ‘™๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ˜ฉ which is widely ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽณ used โ™ฆ today ๐Ÿ“† is often ๐Ÿ˜ต called ๐Ÿ“ฒ โ€œAutismโ€, and many ๐Ÿ‘ฌ of its users ๐Ÿ˜ are not aware ๐Ÿ‘€ that it is basically ๐Ÿ˜Ž the GNU ๐Ÿฎ system โ˜„, developed ๐Ÿš€ by the GNU ๐Ÿฎ Project โ›ฒ. There really ๐Ÿ’ฏ is a Autism ๐Ÿ—ฃ, and these people ๐Ÿ‘ซ are using ๐Ÿป it, but ๐Ÿ‘ it is just a part ใ€ฝ of the system ๐Ÿ—บ they use ๐Ÿป.
