Subject: bug#25254: [minor] 'About' page says GuixSD is a "GNU/Linux
Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2016 11:45:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86dda095c910a87e098687f346b9ed1b@openmailbox.org> (raw)

I agree with Tylan.
Instead of the current patch, however, I'd change the whole paragraph to
something like this (a combination with the current first paragraph on
Wikipedia):
GuixSD (Guix System Distribution) is a distribution of the [GNU
operating system][link] centered on the GNU Guix package manager. It
uses the [Linux-libre kernel][link] by default, with the [GNU
Hurd][link] being supported as of version 0.12.0. As a GNU distribution,
it is committed to respecting and enhancing the [freedom][link] of its
users, and adheres to the [GNU Free System Distribution
Guidelines][link].
To David, the Guix developers had the intention to call the system just
GNU, and distribute it as GNU (Guix is a GNU project after all), but RMS
didn't agree, so it was decided to use the GuixSD name and call it "A
distribution of GNU", and not "THE distribution of GNU." [1]
