The slash "/" is not part of the file name. It separates folder and file names. In your case, you are trying to save a file with the name "Linux Distro" into a folder "GNU". If the folder "GNU" does not exist in the current working directory, which in your case is “/home/agus/Documents/", then the save operation will fail.
To have the save operation succeed, first create a folder "GNU" in the folder "Documents". You need to do this from within your file manager. Creating folders from within a "File save" dialog is not supported.
