The keypoint, that you yourself agree, is that it's using a Linux
kernel. That makes it, Linux.

the kernel is linux, not the rest.

Which makes it Linux. The rest makes it the 'Android' distro,
nothing more.

Android is just as much a linux distro as redhat, slack,
debian, mint, etc are.

android is in no way a linux distro like redhat etc.

It's using a linux kernel. It has it's own utilities and shell.
In those ways, it's the same as nearly any other linux distro.

if that were true, then you would be able to natively install
android apps on 'nearly any other linux distro' and linux apps on
an android phone.

That's not a very logical comparison, nospam. Going by your logic,
my router isn't Linux either, because I can't natively install any
of my desktop Linux apps on it.

As with my router, it's using a modified Linux Kernel. The
modifications are what seperates it from the gnu/linux distro's my
desktop PC's are using.

I can run Android apps on my PCs, I can even run the entire Android
OS on any of my PCs. That's nothing new, Where have you been? I'm
sure you'll tell me that macs are just as capable of running Android
OS as my Linux based open hardware standard PCs are, right?

since that's not possible, your assertion is false.

As I said, I can run Android OS and Android apps on my linux based
PCs. Your logic is faulty. Your claim that my assertion is false is
based on your faulty logic, Rendering such claim null and void.

You clearly misunderstood that very Google url you quoted. And
continued digging the hole, trying to defend your mistake, Rather
than, as is typical of you, admit you messed up and continue on like
a normal person would have.

What knowledge you've demonstrated, may/likely is, infact, coming
from google search results. Highly unlikely to be from first hand
knowledge or experience at this point. You've made too many mistakes
along the way for it to be otherwise.
