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.

Im talking about the kernel without GNU or Systemd or anything
My LG TV runs Linux. And I’m pretty sure I had the GPL in some other home appliances as well. You’d also find the Linux kernel running in a lot of other embedded devices as well. Roombas… Sometimes they boot straight to custom software. TomTom GPS devices do (or did) that AFAIK. Other car entertainment devices as well. And I think there is some design pattern in which you run your microservices without a full Linux in the container on a server.
