      By that logic MacOS is FreeBSD. Android has a modified Linux kernel, doesn’t run GNU software or basically any Linux applications natively and it has a bunch of Google proprietary crap on top of it, when I mean “running Linux” I mean running a FOSS GNU/Linux distro.

        There’s Android forks out there that avoid Google’s crap. LineageOS and GrapheneOS come to mind. Though I’m less familiar with all that.

          I know, but you’re still at the mercy of Google’s upstream codebase. Don’t get me wrong, degooglefying Android is better than nothing but it’s not the ideal we should be striving for.
