gollark: For example, Alpine and Void.
gollark: Speaking unironically for a moment, there are in fact non-GNU Linux distros, although Arch is not one.
gollark: No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
gollark: Oh, I have this too.
