    The people that literally created Linux disagree with you. They all say that Linux is the kernel.

    You can stop trying to explain your point of view. I understand exactly what you’re saying, it’s just incorrect. No amount of explaining is going to change that

      You sound like a flat-earther insisting you know the truth when the evidence clearly contradicts you.

      I don’t need to prove anything to you, I can rely on verifiable facts.

      The Linux kernel used in Android has been significantly modified to meet Google’s requirements.

      Android does not behave or function like a conventional Linux distribution.

      Android is fundamentally different from other operating systems, aside from portions of the kernel that remain unchanged.

      Android is “Linux” only at the kernel level, which is insufficient to classify it as Linux in any meaningful, user-facing sense.

      What a subset of developers choose to call Linux is irrelevant here, this is a straightforward equivocation fallacy.
