Is it possible to make a Linux distribution without GNU?

>>59207005
Yes.
https://busybox.net/FAQ.html#build_system

>>59207005
Android contains almost no GNU.

GNU distributions without Linux are more widespread.
https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD

I'm pretty sure it was created just to spite non-GNU-believers.

>>59207005
Pretty sure alpine linux has almost all things gnu removed.

>>59207005
Is just like to interject but what you're referring to as Linux is in fact xorg/Linux/systemd

>almost no

The OP says without not almost without

Check out sta.li

>>59207005
Depends on what do you mean under "make".

>>59207367
>/usr -> / # softlink pointing to /
>musl

Epic timesink.

>>59207005
Need GCC to compile the kernel. Otherwise yes.

>>59207343
It's still pretty close

>>59209071
That just means no.

>>59207005

yes Ubuntu

Alpine is free from GNU disease afaik.

>>59207041
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.

>>59209408
You can ship a distro that does not contain GNU, but it will be unable to build its own kernel.

>>59209473
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?

>>59207005
Will it ever matter in the history of humanity?

No, no it will not.

>>59209640
fuck that add the features to tcc

>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?

>>59210702
Vestigial software, perpetuated only by the linux kernel and the convience of it doing everything, if none of it at all well.

>>59207162

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.

>>59210398

I could become better than Mozart if I studied music hard for a few years. What's your point?

>>59207005
Sure, why not?

>>59209452
>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

>>59207466
There's a BSD make, I don't think that's the hardest part.

>>59209452
>suckless
>bsd userland
>you could compile it all with clang
>link it against musl
This is my dream Linux.

>>59207005
>That one time /g/ tried to make an alternative to the GNU tools. Was it /g/no tools? I remember several people fighting over who implemented yes

>>59207005
No, GNU just means "Good but Not Unix" which would include Windows, Linux, and OSX

>>59210779
>Better than Mozart
>By studying

LOL
No you couldn't.

>>59211653
That's not what GNU means anon, RMS will see you after school

>>59209071
There are other C compilers.

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.
