added extra information based on received feedback
- I have noticed that we have several questions tagged with [GNU/Linux](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/4888).
- I would like to rename this tag to **gnu** to reflect what seems to be [the canonical name](https://www.gnu.org/home.en.html) and also be consistent with tag naming (all letters are lowercase, avoid slashes).

- Based on provided answers, I know consider the following alternatives:
- - gnu-linux
- - linux
- **Note**: GNU/Linux naming is controversial enough to have its [own Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy)
