    But even knowing the fact that the operating system You use is
    GNU/Linux - it is human habit to reduce words and say "Linux"
    instead of "GNU/Linux", "X Server" instead of "Xorg Server", "ssh"
    instead of "openssh" and etc.

Yes, that is a human tendency, especially when other humans encourage
it.  But people do not have to give way to that tendency.  It is a
human capacity to decide to follow a path other than the easiest one.

Would you please make an effort to say "GNU/Linux" and not treat GNU
as if it were part of Linux?  This kind of help will make a big
difference to us, and it won't take much work once you change the
habit.
