On the other hand, GNU can be regarded as a POSIX-compliant operating
system.

By the way, what's the Guix packaging policy about "GNU" vs "GNU+Linux"
vs "GNU+Linux-libre" vs "Linux" nomenclature in package descriptions?

Exceptional cases aside, I think the healthiest way is to make every
reference go to "GNU" alone.

((_/)o o(\_)) There is no system but GNU;
 `-'(. .)`-'  GNU Linux-Libre is one of its official kernels;
     \_/      All software must be free as in freedom;
