GNU Guix is the package manager of the GNU system. The GNU system is
the GNU/{Linux,Hurd} distribution that uses Guix as its package manager,
dmd as its init system, the GNU libc, etc.
So the distribution is called “the GNU system”, or “GNU”.
Easy, no? :-)
If you think that should be clarified or something, please do share your
thoughts on that.
> "Marketing" only a "GNU system" name is going to be bit hard,
What makes you think so?
Thanks,
