Would you please be so kind as to call the system you're using "GNU/Linux"?

That's what it is.  Calling it "Linux" is simply an error.
We started developing the GNU system in 1984.  Linux is one component
that has been used with GNU since 1992.

The error of calling it "Linux" is important because it has the effect
of attributing our work (of which GNU Emacs is part) to Mr Torvalds
and giving us none of the credit for it.  Please treat us fairly
by calling the system "GNU/Linux".

See https://gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and
https://gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html, plus the history in
https://gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html.
