Why not just call your system Unix on the web, if it is more borrowing from the Unix philosophy?

I don’t know what the Linux philosophy is. I think it is the kernel of choice for GNU based systems because it existed and was open enough to use, while Hurd was more philosophical (to the point where, when it was needed, it existed more as an idea than a thing).

Linux is where it is because they make pragmatic decisions when when necessary.
