Hi, I know that the future is uncertain, but I'd like to know what is holding the GNU developers back from releasing the first version of the GNU Operating System.
I would like to go to gnu.org, click on the big download button, and get a copy of the GNU Operating System version 1.0 (not a copy of an ABC GNU/Linux-libre distribution that is based upon a non-free XYZ GNU/Linux distribution that is based on some components of the GNU system). I came across GNU Guix [1] last year. At that time, they had plans to build a standalone distribution of the GNU Operating System. I watched GNU Guix developers work during this year and they did build a standalone distribution. [2] But the name of this distribution is GNU Guix (the same name of the package manager). If Guix is the GNU package manager and integrates the components of GNU, why can't the resulting distribution be called The GNU Operating System (or GNU, for short)?
