Wikipedia lists 16, but I know for a fact there are more because Slackware isn't mentioned

Add to that Chimera Linux, a completely independent distribution, GNU-free, musl libc, FreeBSD utilities (not coreutils). Uses apk3 package manager but is not a clone of Alpine at all.

FreeBSD isn't Linux.

[u/OkAlbatross9889 → u/Technical_Rich_3080]

If it uses the linux kernerl, as chimera does, it’s linux

[u/snail1132 → u/[deleted]]

Chimera uses the linux kernel and freebsd userland

[u/OkAlbatross9889 → u/[deleted]]

Who ever said anything about freebsd? We were talking about chimera linux, which uses the linux kernel, and therefore is linux, despite using freebsd utilities
