True, but it's the "first part" (since GNU runs on top of it) so I call it Linux/GNU.

GNU provides the user space, and a bunch of command line utilities, but that's pretty useless these days without a GUI. So mostly I call it Linux/GNU/Gnome.

I do spend quite a bit of time in a browser though, I mean a machine that can't browse the web is pretty useless. So my friends refer to it as Linux/Gnu/Gnome/Firefox.

Of course to have a good experience in the browser you need an Adblocker. Adblock Plus is the one I use.

I've instructed all the people in the office to call it Linux/Gnu/Gnome/Firefox/AdBlock Plus. Recently though I had to chastise someone for leaving out the word "plus". I mean what are we, Barbarians??

Clearly, considering you are using AdBlock Plus instead of uBlock Origin :)
