I don't think stali has seen any activity in several years.

As far as I know, the only completely statically linked Linux distribution that is actively developed is my own project (inspired by stali), oasis: https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis

Do you static-link Linux? :-)
I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you asking whether I build my kernel drivers as modules or built-in? Personally, I build my kernels without modules, but I've never heard of that technique being called "static-linking Linux".
Yes, exactly. Loadable modules are a form of dynamic linking. I've never heard it called "static-linking Linux," either, but I think static / dynamic linking is well understood, and I'm happy you understood the meaning from context.
