systemd is still GPL (LGPL to be exact) so if you truly want to get rid of the "GNU" in "GNU/Linux" you might want to take a look at the rust-coreutils for a starter

If you're really interested I have an expansion of rust-coreutils that includes Rust implementations of a drop-in bash clone, git, pico, and many others. You don't need GNU at all if you don't want anymore.

Yeah, I'm actually interested in that, and I think by now it should be very possible to build a Linux system without any GNU userland (by default).

Instead of building yet-another "no systemd here" distro, why does nobody build a "no GNU here" distro instead? :)

I did. jonerix on gh. "GNO" means "GNO is not GNU"
