Users still don't understand the point of GNU/Linux
---------------------------------------------------

The market share for GNU/Linux has gone up, because of many reasons.
Many YouTubers are using GNU/Linux but are calling it "Linux".

With all of these new GNU/Linux users, they still don't understand something.
GNU is not just another operating system.
The philosophy behind GNU is about Software Freedom.
But many people don't seem to understand that.

In fact, I'd say most people using Mint GNU/Linux, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, etc. don't even know what is GNU!
Open source does make more sense to former Windows users, but we don't want open source.
The open source people say "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux".

Hopefully someday people will the true meaning of GNU/Linux.
