All Linux names are no longer valid as they're all GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux if you're into that.
Android, Alpine and Chimera aren't.
They don't have GNU but they're still verboten:
Alpine uses GCC at least.
You rn:
I appreciate the attempt at comedy. But I have no problem with Alpine (other than the snail oldmalloc performance). I even contributed a port fix or two.
The more interesting part that should have been read from my comment was that Chimera DOES NOT use GCC. Not to mention that it ships non-GNU coreutils that are usable by desktop users. While Alpine has it's GNU coreutils package overriding busybox because that's what most users would want. So that's another GNU component any non-meme non-turbo-minimalist desktop user would be using on Alpine.
The Linux kernel has been been able to build with Clang for long time. Chimera Linux does omit out of the box.
I do not know if you can build Windows with Clang but I bet you can.
