    I usually see it referred to as GNU/Linux. I always consider Android as Android/Linux to differentiate it from desktop.

      Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.

            Don’t you confuse people with your open os’es by calling them free. No charge is the only real free.

          I’ve come to the conclusion that lumping in Android/ChromeOS to the broad term is a stat padding exercise. It makes the whole of Linux look like it’s the most used OS in the world. But I’m OK with if you want to do so.

          Call it GNU/Linux or Linux I don’t care. I just refer to it as whatever distro I’ve hopped to for this month. So to me, right now I’m typing this on my laptop running Fedora 40 KDE and my mini-desktop is running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie.

            I’m just running Linux. Or for the Linux people it’s KDE Plasma. Or Ubuntu with LXDE. Or degoogled Android. Or whatever, these are examples.
