    Only when people want to argue about who uses Linux, or for Linus to gloat over the accomplishment of the kernel.

    Can it be installed in WSL, can you install a package like Librewolf using instructions for ‘other Linux’? -No. Don’t make us call it GNU + Linux!

      ‘Does it use the Linux kernel?’ -Yes. Linux is a kernel, that’s the only question that needs to be asked and answered. It is Linux. Every Android phone runs Linux.

      Of course Android is not GNU+Linux. No one has claimed that it is, and if someone ever does claim that, they would be incorrect. So great news, you (singular) will not be made to call Android “GNU+Linux”!
