Yes, the name is a bit cumbersome. I simply call my operating system "GNU", no need to specify the kernel.

Paired with a neat interface (black xterm on a solid black background without panel nor window decorations), people walk confusedly by my computer and ask: what's that wicked system of yours? And I say: "That's the GNU operating system, man!" It never ceases to cause a stir.
