    Android uses the Linux kernel, so it is Linux (but not GNU/Linux). This isn’t just semantics - Android has a UNIX-style filesystem, shell scripts, etc.

      It’s not semantics. People refer to GNU/Linux as Linux. Anything that isn’t GNU isn’t meant by the people. It’s not my fault this is removeded up. We both know that it is linux and that it isn’t what people understand if someone talks about linux.
