I've recently taken to calling it "GNU Plus Linux"
I use Arch btw
I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux
Do you use that distro just so you can say you use that distro?
Nah, it's quite compact, useful for docker and the like
It does include coreutils and other GNU packages, but they aren't installed by default. This is perfect for a server install or Docker image where Busybox is just enough to accomplish most basic tasks, but if I was using it for a desktop OS then you better believe I'm installing the GNU wget and other packages so that I can follow redirects and what not.
