From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know what they mean, but: I run an immutable Linux distro on my phone that is maintained by Google. I'm sure more than 0.01% of Europe does the same.
I guess "FLOSS phone" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Linux phone"
But AOSP is open source? So that term wouldn't improve on the problem.
I think GNU phones or GNU-like phones is a nice way to put it.
AFAIK yes
Android is not GNU/Linux
Linux is a kernel and android uses the Linux kernel. So not itโs not Gnu/Linux but it is definitely Linux.
Yeah it's Google/Linux
