Both Android and ChromeOS are Linux, and Google’s spying there…

We should all be thankful that ChromeOS is flaming hot garbage that no one should be using on UX alone.

This is one of the reasons why I think something like “Freedesktop Platform” is a more appropriate term than “Linux”.

Do we really need to bring back “GNU/Linux” for the pedants?

It’s funny how Linux is only Linux if it benefits Linux nerds but the moment someone points out that Android, Chrome, Steam Deck, anything with telemetry and Linux has telemetry all of a sudden it’s not “really Linux” anymore.

It really is Schrodinger’s OS.

@CapraObscura @sin_free_for_00_days

I think steam deck is usually considered linux.

Benefits to proton after all make it out to linux. ChromeOS and Android are more debatable, although Google does submit a lot of code upstream to the kernel.

It’s the first time I hear that Steam OS isn’t Linux. Why wouldn’t it be considered as such?

Nah, it’s just easier to refer to GNU/Linux as Linux. None of the GNU stuff is in Android, so it really is -just- Linux. Steam Deck is a fair point, they modified some distro a lot and made it their own (like Microsoft modifying chromium to make the edge browser). But yeah, Linux nerds be like that.
