Even in my proposal we should use 'Arch GNU/Linux' or 'Arch (the
GNU/Linux distribution)' as the former Arch operating system name in
Parabola project, not just our Social Contract.

'Arch Linux' is a misnomer, because the system is GNU/Linux and
Nomenclature page [0] needs expansion to explain that we will use the
correct name 'Arch GNU/Linux' or 'Arch (the GNU/Linux distribution)'
because we are giving this kind of respect to the GNU Project.

In FSDG [1], specifically in "Please Avoid Repeating Propaganda and
Confusion" says about list of words to avoid, in that list explains
about Linux system as word to avoid [2]

Parabola is a endorsed distro by FSF and it should avoid propaganda and
confusion, even if Parabola talks about another distros (eg. Arch,
Ubuntu, Suse, etc) inside the project.
