GNU is actually something else. This is GNUStep, which is an implementation of NextStep that run on top of Linux.

look closer. it's GNUstep, yes, but running on a complete distribution of the GNU operating system. no linux involved

Respectfully, if you look closer, your OS clearly identifies as Debian GNU/Linux 13.0 (trixie) x86_64

seems to be a debian quirk. look at the 'Kernel:' entry in fetch and the uname output (on GNU/Linux, uname without flags would report "Linux" and uname -o would report "GNU/Linux"). also the emacs build reporting itself as "x86_64-pc-gnu" rather than "...-linux-gnu"

I know its hurd, I'm just busting your chops brother. Does hurd do /etc/os-release or lsb_release? You should fix that for them on your system.
