    Linux is FOSS. Android is based on Linux. Android is not Linux.

      Uh you know that Debian isn’t just Linux either right? It’s based on Linux. The same way that Android is.

        Debian is GNU/Linux and that’s what almost always people mean when they say Linux. Android is not GNU/Linux and doesn’t even use the mainline Linux kernel - just some old, heavily modified version.

        Mobian or Manjaro ARM on the other hand are GNU/Linux distributions. They run the same software that you can run on your desktop distro.
