Taken from the CompTIA IT Fundamentals Exam Guide book (2nd edition, published 2021). I’m not sure if they fixed this in newer versions, if at all.

I mean, it’s technically correct? The G does stand for GNU, and GNU tools can be used to build Linux.

No basically all Linux uses gnu Coreurils as a foundation and is therefore best called gnu+Linux. There’s a great RMS rant about this , it’s what the title is referring to.

Aren’t their embedded systems that run the Linux kernel without the core-utils (maybe with busybox instead) and would therefore be non-gnu linux variants?

Yep, Alpine Linux does this as well.

Yeah these would be called NonGNU/Linux or Busybox/Linux.
