It's just Linux. GNU is unrelated to Linux, which is a kernel developed by - Linus Torvalds. Linux can be used entirely without GNU software in userspace, - and the kernel can be compiled without the use of GNU tools. Just because GNU - tools were used to initally develop and compile the kernel, and were initially - the only available tools for userspace, does not make this true today, and it - never made GNU a part of Linux itself at any point of time.
-Where are all of the other forward-slashes for every other piece of software - on a Linux-based system which makes it just as usable? If a system is running - "GNU/Linux", it should be using more than a single forward-slash when there is - more to the system than only GNU.
