> Linux succeeded and defeated Microsoft in every single way that matters to open source people

I don't know, hardware still regularly does not support Linux, the Linux desktop has a risible fraction of the world's user base, popular apps still only exist for winmac.

It won on the server, sure, but that's hardly every single way that matters, at least from what I remember as an open source user in the '00s.

Android is Linux to about the same degree that Chrome is Windows.

Android uses the Linux kernel, which, to old-heads like me, is Linux, whereas the combination of userland and kernel was GNU/Linux.

ChromeOS also uses the Linux kernel.

If you are talking about Chrome-the-web-browser, well, then the parent comment is nonsense.
