    Exactly. Even in this community and in this post people keep mixing Linux, GNU/Linux and Android. It’s crazy that even people who use this operating system are confused. Almost always when they say Linux they really mean GNU/Linux. Linux Mint or Arch Linux are GNU/Linux. But Android isn’t and it doesn’t even use the mainline Linux kernel.

    The issue of freedom is a separate thing, because even most GNU/Linux distros contain proprietary software just like Android.
