    Android is an operating system it’s just one that runs mostly in a JVM. It has a very similar internal structure and architecture to Linux and does run the Linux kernel (heavily modified version of it), but it also has very different functions from Linux.

      I know. I was just playing with Cunningham’s law to clarify that while Android is not GNU it’s still Linux.
