Only when people want to argue about who uses Linux, or for Linus to gloat over the accomplishment of the kernel.
Can it be installed in WSL, can you install a package like Librewolf using instructions for 'other Linux'? -No. Don't make us call it GNU + Linux!
'Does it use the Linux kernel?' -Yes. Linux is a kernel, that's the only question that needs to be asked and answered. It is Linux. Every Android phone runs Linux.
Of course Android is not GNU+Linux. No one has claimed that it is, and if someone ever does claim that, they would be incorrect. So great news, you (singular) will not be made to call Android "GNU+Linux"!
my next phone will run linux.
Hell yeah I will be running Linux mobile exclusively from 2029!
For now I will practice the “dual boot method” of using it on an extra phone.
