GNU variants are operating systems based upon the GNU operating system (namely those whose components include the GNU C library and system libraries; application software like GNU coreutils and bash; sometimes also the Hurd kernel, the Guix package manager, etc.). According to the GNU Project, these also include most operating systems using the Linux kernel and a few others using BSD-based kernels.
