My point is that you could probably run the Linux kernel with a BSD userland, and with software on top of that from outside the GNU ecosystem, and still have a full system.

So, if I understand you correctly, your point is that there are probably other operating systems besides GNU/Linux. I can probably agree with that. ;)

I still prefer GNU/Linux, however, and have had no need for any other operating system for quite a few years. Any replacement would have to have at least as strong an emphasis on user freedoms. I've grown accustomed to being in control of my computer and data.
