Posturing about windows bad linux good and admitting to using an android phone for convenience feels like peak nerd gatekeeping.

It does for the time being, but conflating "android" and AOSP just because of the linux kernel is a bit of a stretch, to me it feels like saying macos is "fine because Darwin is open source"

When people say Linux they usually mean GNU/Linux, which Android is not.

Numerous Android phones can run mainline Linux and many more can run a Android-based ROM. What's wrong with buying a phone with commercial Android then getting flashed with something different?
