Is it possible to make a Linux distribution without GNU?
Android contains almost no GNU.
GNU distributions without Linux are more widespread.

I'm pretty sure it was created just to spite non-GNU-believers.
Maybe
Pretty sure alpine linux has almost all things gnu removed.
Is just like to interject but what you're referring to as Linux is in fact xorg/Linux/systemd
>almost
>almost no
The OP says without not almost without
Check out sta.li
Depends on what do you mean under "make".
>/usr -> / # softlink pointing to /
>musl
Epic timesink.
Need GCC to compile the kernel. Otherwise yes.
It's still pretty close
That just means no.
yes Ubuntu
Alpine is free from GNU disease afaik.
busybox has plenty of gnu
you could use suckless or a bsd userland or heirloom
you could compile it all with clang
link it against musl
but you're never going to build the kernel with anything but GCC.
You can ship a distro that does not contain GNU, but it will be unable to build its own kernel.
Good enough; you've got a system that does not itself contain any GNU software. That new versions of the kernel would have to be compiled by another computer is not really a big deal, using a build system different from the end user system is done all the time.
when are those LLVM faggots going to get their shit together and make clang capable of compiling the Linux kernel?
Will it ever matter in the history of humanity?
No, no it will not.
fuck that add the features to tcc
>but you're never going to build the kernel with anything but GCC.
>never!
There are actually branches of Clang that could do that.
So all things considered, when they feel like it they can implement the missing features in a couple of days and toss GNU out like the used condom it is to the industrie.
What is GNU?
Vestigial software, perpetuated only by the linux kernel and the convience of it doing everything, if none of it at all well.
Tell us more about how the xorg and systemd projects started 40 years ago with the idea of creating a free OS and then adopted Linux (a kernel) into it. Idiot.
I could become better than Mozart if I studied music hard for a few years. What's your point?
Sure, why not?
>you could use suckless or a bsd userland or heirloom
source on the bsd userland claim? afaik it's still impossible to use a bsd userland on linux
There's a BSD make, I don't think that's the hardest part.
>suckless
>bsd userland
>you could compile it all with clang
>link it against musl
This is my dream Linux.
>That one time Sup Forums tried to make an alternative to the GNU tools. Was it Sup Forumsno tools? I remember several people fighting over who implemented yes
No, GNU just means "Good but Not Unix" which would include Windows, Linux, and OSX
>Better than Mozart
>By studying
LOL
No you couldn't.
That's not what GNU means user, RMS will see you after school
There are other C compilers.
Your parents almost love you.
Nice meme.

Bet you feel so silly now.
I kek'd. Good job.
lmao @ reflection of the user
typical fat Sup Forumstard
I'm going to have a stroke.
Abandonware.

Admitedly not too recent, but hardly abandoned - maybe just dormant, especially considering it's free software, so anyone interested can pick up the project at any point.
theres busybox clones (targetted at android) that are bsd licensed.
