You also probably have one in your pocket right now. Android.

Although Android uses the Linux kernel, it's not a Linux distro in the original sense. The original sense being that's it a Unix like OS.

I'm pretty sure there isn't an agreed upon definition of Linux distro and android being a distro has been a debate for a long time. Some, like me, see it as a Linux based distributed os.

But I guess we could then say LineageOS since it's even in the Linux distro graph

Actually android can run on a mainline kernel now https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-6-6-pro-mainline-linux-kernel-support/
