gollark: WHY
gollark: There really is a Wordart, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Wordart is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Wordart is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Wordart added, or GNU/Wordart. All the so-called Wordart distributions are really distributions of GNU/Wordart!
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Wordart, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
