GNU is an operating system, that usually comes with Linux (Linus Torvalds kernel for an operating system). GNU can use other kernels, like other operating system. When you say "Linux", you trying to say "operating system", but "Linux" is a kernel only, component of an operating system.

If you have been convinced by rms' speech, you should certainly have written "GNU/Linux" whenever you wrote "Linux" above: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html Check out your disk's SMART data and self-test it. In Trisquel, you can use the "Disks" utility in the "System Settings".
