[13:43]	TR News	People say "Linux" is easier to say than "gnu" but that's a lie. What's more, nowadays people say things like "Linux kernel" (long). If people called the components correctly, the word "kernel" would be possible to omit (without any loss of meaning). Just as you say "X" or "Wayland" and not something longer, same for KDE.
[13:45]	TR News	One could go a step further and argue that we should say "GNU/Linux kernel" because if we say only "Linux", then kernel is implied. Like "the Firefox browser".
