Reading this makes me want to find a Linux distribution that does not use the gnu stuff at all.
busybox based distros like Alpine, or maybe Android, are probably the closest thing to non GNU-based Linux. Although I have no idea if they really have zero GNU stuff or just coreutils specifically.
And why would that be? GNU and the Free Software Movement have made an amazing positive contribution to the entire world, including your life even if you do not use GNU/Linux. I find this unwarranted hate on the amazing people that developed the GNU utilities and their equally as astounding work to be extremely disrespectful and quite frankly very petty.
Android?
