According to your knowledge of history I would say "speak for
yourself".
In 1995 the Linux kernel version was over 1.0, and Linux kernel
without the GNU software would have been another useless piece of
software as is any kernel without an userland.
And the GNU project started in 1984, so in the early '90 we already
were working on bash an gcc and start enjoying the GNU version of
some command in an improved Unix experience.

English native speaker.
