No no no, its "not Linux"! Which is bad! Or it "is Linux" if that's actually bad instead! Duh?
I don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
Android uses the Linux kernel. So it is a Linux system.
But only in the same way as your Chromebook, your TV, your car's entertainment system and your programmable vibrator are Linux systems.
Doesn't mean "good" or "bad", doesn't mean "hackable" or "free software".
Although on Android, it's trivially easy to install a proper Linux with all rights, and access to the phone's sensors, sms, phone calls, GPS, etc. in a chroot environment.
I was sarcastically mocking the guy who makes all the posts in this community
I saw it as affirming my point. Linux users use naming conventions that suit them.
Debian is 'stable' -because it never gets updated. -But to evangelist: because it supposedly doesn't crash (same could be said for WinME though if you were careful what you ran on it).
Linux evangelist calls Android Linux if it suits their line of defensive argument at the time. Denies if if they're arguing whether Linux has spyware or ads. (and for that matter, lets look at Mozilla, Fedora, KDE, etc.)
Oh I'm sure that you did
Ugh, my car runs an os from Microsoft.
