minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•5 months agothe thing is that not all of them use systemd or bash or zsh or even X11 (servers don’t usually have X11 installed) All of them use a Linux kernel and many components that were originally developed for GNU, especially the C library.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•5 months agoYes, I listed sysvinit for that reason. And Musl instead of glibc. GNU is optional in a Linux distro, except for the kernel’s use of a GNU license.
