Are there any non-unixlike Linux-based OSes ~~other than Android~~? (self.linux)

To clear it up I am referring to just the kernel. You can set anything you'd like as PID 1 so we can have a non-unixlike userland. For example, some users set their kernel to boot directly into Emacs, without an init system.

I assume they mean non-Xorg/wayland, but I really don't know for sure.

When I think "unix-like" I think, "everything is a file, configurations are human-readable, executables do one simple thing and combine to perform complex operations"
