Fedora is. Linux isn't. Linux is just an OS kernel. It cannot be used without helpers like GNU libraries and utilities.

We are not part of GNU, and in fact listed by them as specifically not
endorsed because we have policy disagreements.

But we are still using GCC, GNU coreutils, glibc, libstdc++, etc. That's why we cannot name an OS without the GNU prefix.
