FSF does not endorse Debian anymore
The last sentence in the opening section says: "Several distributions employ the FSF-endorsed name, such as Debian, Trisquel and Parabola GNU/Linux-libre." but GNU no longer endorses Debian, so this should be corrected. It is not included in their list of endorsed distros, and they even explain why here. --Blue.painting (talk) 20:59, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- The FSF has never endorsed Debian, that is not what the section is about, it is about the distros using the "GNU/Linux" naming that FSF endorses. - Ahunt (talk) 23:57, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Blue.painting has a point though; the wording could be confusing. I've changed the wording to ensure it doesn't cause any misunderstanding. SebastianTalk | Contrib. - 23:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think that actually makes it more confusing, not less. Let me give it a try on clarification. - Ahunt (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Template:U & Template:U, I think this change to "the name that the FSF prefers" indeed does make it more clear. - Blue.painting (talk) 07:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
"particularly when using Stallman's preferred pronunciation" - which is?? (guessing he might pronounce G-N-U, but either reference it, or don't mention it) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.131.223 (talk) 09:27, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Article name
Doesn't the article name kinda endorse GNU/Linux as the "correct" name? Why not use something more neutral like "Linux-based operating system naming controversy"? 64.193.85.1 (talk) 21:29, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- The name is "GNU/Linux naming controversy" meaning that use of the term "GNU/Linux" is the controversy. - Ahunt (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- This topic shouldn't have its own article since there is no notable name for it. When there's controversy on the name of an article it's probably bc the article shouldn't exit. This info belongs in an article on Linux of which there are three (Linux, Linux kernel, Linux distribution) which is two too many. Stevebroshar (talk) 10:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
