20y ago I attended a talk by him which I still remember. I completely stopped using windows after that.
he was on the GNU/Linux name rant back then as well. he also had a huge floppy disk he put on as a halo and paraded around as saint iGNUcious.
interesting talk and entertaining

Update: New definition for the Linux trademark and related terms!
As Linux is enjoying wider adoption among less technically inclined individuals, we are making changes to what we call the project and key components to make referring to them more straightforward and avoid gatekeeping.
Major changes:
Term Meaning in versions up to 6 Meaning in versions 7 and up Linux LT’s project of an open-source OS kernel OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities Linux kernel redundant LT’s project of an open-source OS kernel Linux without GNU redundant OS based on the Linux kernel without GNU utilities GNU/Linux OS based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities deprecated Linux distro Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel Specific OS distribution based on the Linux kernel with GNU utilities Please make sure to update corresponding API calls and documentation when upgrading to kernel 7.x. You will be able to use deprecated terms during support periods on kernel versions 6.x.
