>>If you replace glibc, coreutils, bash, Xorg, and just about any other part that you as either a developer or user interact with, then no, it's not recognizably linux, any more than the BSDs are Linux
I had to add a driver for a USB device and it was Linux to me. I could not have done the same for BSD (never used it) or Windows using code from Kernel.org . I have personally used an Android kernel to boot one of those arm `mini-netbooks` into xfce.
Indeed you would find that glibc has iterated through different ABIs but we don't call these different operating systems, and we can fix them by simply installing the appropriate binaries.
