    I have done a quick search on the 'active' distributions on DistroWatch.com
    and only very few systems are following your logic:

Thanks for your reply :)

 

That's true.  Most distros do not recognize that this system is
basically GNU; they give the credit for the GNU Project's work
to Mr Torvalds, rather than to us.

Indeed.

 

The frequence of this mistake is why correcting it is important.
If the mistake were rare, we might as well not worry about it.

I couldn't agree more :)

From now and on, for me, I'll do my best to always write "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux". After all, it will cost me one extra second and GNU Project and everyone who worked so hard on that project for all these years are definitely deserve this extra second :)

Thank you!

P.S.
I'm going to ask my team to change the home page of ToriOS.org to reflect this correction.
