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

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.

non-unixlike

Linux-based

Sorry, friend, but you'll have to pick one. Linux is Unix-like.

Couldn't we implement a non-unixlike userland though (e.g. it's all just emacs)

That's called systemd. :P
