It is important not to confuse Linux, the kernel, with GNU, the actual
operating system. Linux, the kernel, and GNU, the operating system, are
developed mostly independently of each other. Technically, there is no
requirement that one run only a GNU variant under Linux, the kernel, or
that GNU must run only under Linux, the kernel (in fact there is or at
least was a port of GNU to the FreeBSD kernel at one time).

Also of note that GNU also has its own kernel, Hurd (microkernel-based),
which is still under development a couple of decades later.
