FSF does not endorse Debian anymore edit
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 Ahunt & Sebastian Hudak, 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 edit
"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 edit
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)
