We just need to remove the "Linux" from GNU/Linux.

GNU was/is a project to develop a completely free (as in freedom
and not beer) Unix, and it has succeeded admirably except for a viable
OS.  Hence GNU selected Linux as its OS.

But GNU has an OS; it's called "Hurd."  It works but it cannot
yet compete with the functionality of Linux.  Even Dr. Richard
Stallman, the main protagonist of GNU, admits that the architecture
of Hurd was something of a mistake.

Hurd is still alive, if not kicking, however:

I would love to see Hurd revitalized and to assume the role of
the GNU kernel, replacing Linux.

Then, with GNU as the steward, Unix would be totally free (as in freedom
and not beer).
