Ackchyually, not every Linux is a GNU Linux

Some examples:

Android
Alpine: Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox
glaucus: A simple and lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and toybox
Chimera (alpha stage): Chimera uses a novel combination of core tools from FreeBSD, the LLVM toolchain, and the Musl C library

- Linux is not Unix
  
  That's what i said.

  Linux Is Not UniX

  No, you said Linux is not equal to Unix, which is also technically correct.
  
  No, he said Unix is not equal to Linux. xD
  
  I can see the value of this. Linux \not \in Unix, and also Linux \not = Unix.
