Ah, Android, with a userspace based on Java, Kotlin, C and C++ standard libraries, Android native APIs, without anything related to GNU/Linux, unless it is a rooted device, or one gets to package a full Linux userspace as an APK, which isn't fully compatible due to security enforcement mechanisms.

I would look into those statistics regarding desktop world wide adoption, distribution per OS.

Anyone who wants it can have Termux which gives you a full Linux experience under Android with GNU tools if you want it, though.

No it does not.

It gives a Linux experience within the security sandbox from Android, which is why there are limitations when using it on regular devices, via PlayStore.

Also it requires working around the NDK limitations on available POSIX APIs.

Not with Fdroid's release.

Oh come on. :-)

Linux is not userspace. Linux is a kernel, and android is a parallel fork of the kernel. So android is a version of linux but is not GNU/Linux.

Android/Linux, if you will. We dont have to be shy this.

Yeah, exactly because of that, lets not do victory laps for a kernel.

GNU/Linux, the Linux desktop, has zero relevance on Android.

No one, not a single person, buying Android tablets and phones at places like MediaMarkt, cares about GNU/Linux Desktop.

They care about what apps via PlayStore, Samsung, Huawei and Xiomi stores, they can use, just like all normies.

People using Linux in 1992 would say something similar to people using any of the current flavours of Linux.

No they wouldn't, given that the only reason I got into Linux was the lackluster POSIX support on Windows NT.
