That's where the history matters. If you applied patches to the GNU project to make it work with Linux, how does the resulting OS become Linux in the end? Linux holds a special place in that regard because it makes the kernel layer, but it doesn't completely invalidate GNU.
Even this commented asked the question of how we call OSs not approved by FSF as GNU/Linux distributions, showing how he does not understand what the idea even implies. GNU is not a political movement, FSF is.
Also, the distros listed there are just FSF approved free GNU/Linux distributions. That is regarding what GNU/Linux distributions you must use, and not a description of what GNU/Linux distributions there are.
Chrome OS would be a Proprietary Community/Linux OS, and Chromium OS would be a Community/Linux OS. Chromium is a community project that's added to the Gentoo base.
By Community, I'm referring to the free community projects, not just any contributions.
Windows for example is an Proprietary NT OS, but all Windows are NT based, so we can just skip the NT part.
Just read the post dude. I made it easy to read first, then others asked what the problem was, so I had to add it. I guess I'll put it at the end instead.
Musl, systemd, Freedesktop, etc. were never OS projects. GNU and Linux are OSes.
Also, most "Linux programs" don't run on Musl LIBC based distros like Void Linux musl edition, which I'm using, and I'm considering returning to the GLIBC edition for my sanity.
I have added the problem to the post for those who are unaware.
LiGNUx is unpronounceable. It's kind of like xbwhfr.
Linux is pronounceable, but the recognition of one of the founders who chose to market it while the other who fought for freedom gets unrecognised is unfair, and people can notice that.
I mentioned *BSD because I'm solving this problem from an ontological level to address systems. If someone categorizes FreeBSD as a BSD OS vs BSD fork, there's still a small debate that can arise from it. Calling it a Community/BSD OS gives attribution to the core team as well as the original BSD team. And all of it remains easily pronounceable as well.
You wouldn't call it GNU slash Linux, but a "community developed GNU and Linux based OS" and just Linux for referring to the Kernel. Most apps for example run only on GLIBC, and therefore calling them Linux apps doesn't make it inclusive of Musl LIBC based systems.
The recognition of GNU (and Linux) as the OS in a GNU/Linux distribution.
A solution to the GNU/Linux naming problem
The problem (for those who are unaware of it)
Moved it to the end, to keep the focus on the solution.
Solution
GNU is a desktop OS that was never completed. Linux is a desktop OS that was never completed.
GNU/Linux is a hybrid OS.
Musl, etc. are libraries that were never OSes.
- So Alpine would be a Community/Linux OS.
- Debian would be a Community/GNU/Linux OS.
- FreeBSD would be a Community/BSD OS.
- Ubuntu would be an Enterprise Community/GNU/Linux OS.
I was thinking ontologically to resolve this problem. It is often confusing to explain to ordinary people why Linux has so and so differences and so and so commonalities, and then the community gets toxic once you get to whether it's GNU or Linux.
So I think this is a good solution that solves the argument of calling it systemd/Freedesktop/KDE/LightDM/GNU/Linux or the other party that says it's either GNU or Linux alone.
Why can't you include GNU in the Community?
Because GNU was an independent OS, and the project did a lot for software freedom, and it was even pivotal to the success of Linux, yet the community does not honour their wish to mention their names, because of aesthetic problems. GNU has never self-identified as a component collection like Freedesktop.
The problem (for those who are unaware of it)
Not everyone may be aware of this, but from the time GNU and Linux based hybrid operating systems became a thing, there was a debate about what they should be called. An OS has a kernel and the userland. Both GNU and Linux were independent operating systems, both of which were never completed.
GNU was a project by FSF under Richard M. Stallman to replace the proprietary UNIX OS. Linux was a hobbyist project by Linux Torvalds to make an OS that would run on the Intel 80386 CPU, while BSD/386 was facing a lawsuit from AT&T for releasing proprietary UNIX source code. GNU was planning to make a microkernel based OS, and it was planning to develop the kernel slowly, while Linus started Linux from the kernel side, with a monolithic architecture.
Since Linux was free software and could run directly on the new hardware, it gained the support of the hacker community, who added patches to the GNU userland to make it work with Linux. But when Linux finally became an OS with the help of GNU, the hacker community said they only care about Linux, not the GNU programs, and gave no recognition to GNU.
Because of this, Stallman asked the distributions to be called GNU/Linux, and that sparked flame wars because of how it is bad to pronounce, and how a distribution has many components beyond just GNU, and that therefore the kernel that runs on the hardware is what should describe the OS, and further several ad-hominem attacks on the personal life and behaviour of Richard Stallman.
Eventually, the name Linux caught on, but sympathizers of GNU are requested to call it GNU/Linux. This continues to be an unresolved, but sidelined dispute that seems unfair to GNU, especially considering most "Linux programs" are actually dependent on GNU GLIBC, and won't run on the other Musl LIBC based systems. Anytime someone mentions it, because there is no easy solution to it, it turns into a flame war.

It's the one that @[email protected] mentioned. I thought it was popular with BSD people.
I'm reverting from Linux to FreeBSD
I have read the Rootless Root, and I testify that UNIX is the one true operating system, and FreeBSD is the implementation of UNIX.
Repeat after me:
There is no OS but UNIX. FreeBSD is the implementation of UNIX.
It is general knowledge that these companies do this. FSF has campaigned a lot against DRM, under the name Defective by Design.
When someone makes a contract with the devil and complains when it affects them, pointing it out is not victim blaming.
Why are traditional Lithium-Ion batteries safer than Lithium-Polymer batteries?
Li-Ion batteries use liquid electrolytes which are explosive at high temperatures, considering they are also maxed out in energy density. Hence, solid state batteries using solid electrolytes are the next-generation of batteries.
Li-Po batteries use gel polymer electrolytes or solid polymer electrolytes, which add a tiny amount of liquid electrolyte (salt-solvent mixture) to the solid matrix to enhance characteristics.
So I initially assumed that they are safer than Li-Ion. But it seems that Li-Po is more dangerous than Li-Ion. So I assumed it might be because the solid electrolyte having a higher energy density and thermal capacity means the added liquid electrolyte is also exposed to the same increased temperature and energy, making it more dangerous.
That seems to be backed up by this paper (DOI:10.1016/j.joule.2022.02.007).
Are there any other reasons for this, specifically for Li-Po batteries? I couldn't find more info regarding this provided their heavy use with drones.
One assumption I have is that Li-Po batteries lack a BMS, so their use should be carefully monitored, to prevent undercharging or overcharging in case of solar powered charging.

Lemon boy but they see why I reside now
Put the time in while you always yellin' time out
F a critic 'cause I know I'm comin' with it
You were sittin' you were wishin', I was handlin' my business
Now I got the ball like Harry Potter playin' Quidditch
And my nuts so humongous you would think that Hagrid's in it
Ah man, I'm all bad, yeah I'm all bad
Workin' for that whip, yeah that whatchu call that
I'ma blow up in the summer have 'em yellin' fall back
And I've always been ahead like an effin ball cap
Man I came in the game like woah
Gotta couple chains on me 'cause I like gold
They told me I'm the best, and I told 'em, I know
'Cause when I'm in your town every ticket I sold

Israel's existence is based on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Palestine does not care about killing Zionists as much as taking back their land. There's nothing preventing the Zionists to own the land in Palestine legally, other than that they'll have to give up the privilege of what they stole. Many residents in the country even have dual citizenship so they can go back to their homelands if they can't afford to pay fairly.
