Think if the GNU project had spent less time working on ‘clever’ recursive acronyms and fitting Scheme into everything, and more time hacking, we might actually be using their kernel.
Linus locked himself in his bedroom for the summer and got almost all of POSIX working on 386. That’s the level of geek to aspire to. If RMS had just decided to name his kernel after himself rather than messing, we’d all be be using Stallix instead.

To be fair, GNU did a ton of work at that time (and today still). GCC and glibc alone are monumental works of software. Add programs like emacs and you now have millions of lines of code you need to develop and maintain.

Recursion, n. See recursion

Obligatory mention of GNU:
GNU’s
Not
Unix!
And if one’s adventurous, GNU HURD <—> HIRD.

I ate a fractal.
Oh boy, you’re going to regret that later.
This isn’t a fractal though it’s moreso a crystal

Yay!
Is that a fractal? It looks more like a tree to me
I’m not sure about the OP, but trees are absolutely fractals.
i guess that would make fractals a special case tree. Which, saying that out loud sounds kinda weird lol
I love Mandelbulb 3D (FOSS)
