Developing free non-gnu operating systems

[Theodore Somers]

By only serving the GNU system (mostly in the form of GNU/Linux), the 
directory is effectively discouraging the development of other potential 
fully free/libre operating systems. The FSF as a whole also mostly 
promotes the GNU system and doesn't encourage development outside of 
that and replicant. That leaves out other paradigms for how an OS could 
work outside of the traditional unix and unix-like abstraction/paradigm. 
That leaves out a lot of potential design space. It could also be easier 
for users of OSes that are not unix-like to migrate to a fully free OS 
if there  was one more similar to their old OS in how it functioned.
