Gnu can be used to describe the gnu project, the gnu license or the gnu coreutils. In this context, they mean that Linux by itself isn’t enough to be the a free desktop, and needs the gnu software to be the system they care about. (There can be controversies on whether gnu is needed or not, since it’s possible to create a distro without the coreutils, but let’s not get you confused right now)
Hmm…
Those are not gnu. I care about gnu, not linux, gnu. I can’t even change the fucking size of my tiles on my pixel from huge to normal… i want freedom
GNOME hasn’t been that beautiful and easy to use as nowadays. When I show it to people, they love it. No joke!

Nice! I do the same 🥰
Yeah people complain about it being locked down and unconfigurable by default, but I think that most of the general computer users prefer it that way.

I see the term gnu around but what is it?
https://www.gnu.org/ and https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
Its a set of software tools, that are often bundled together with the Linux-Kernel. Most Distros use them.
A bunch of programs that form the core utilities required to make an OS useful.
