Although licensed under the GPLv2, the Linux kernel is emphatically
not
GNU software.

Some people call that Alpine.

That's a subset; Alpine is
a
non-GNU Linux distro, but so are Android and Chimera (

People who don't know alpine does use gnu software.

The only GNU I'm aware of in Alpine is that they use gcc as the main compiler, but the built system is AFAIK GNU-free.
