Everyone I tried explaining to that it's GNU/Linux has rolled their eyes at me like I'm some kind of pedantic madman. Then I gave up doing it and went back just calling it Linux.

Potato, tomato. No one cares outside of the RMS cult.

I call it Linux too, but the distinction becomes important when talking about Android.

Indeed. Ten years ago everyone made fun of Stallman for his insistence on calling it GNU/Linux (I was guilty of this as well). These days, with android so popular, it's very topical - I want GNU/Linux on my devices, not just linux.
