I usually see it referred to as GNU/Linux. I always consider Android as Android/Linux to differentiate it from desktop.

    Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.

    And if you're talking about all of those in general, it's just Linux.

    I've come to the conclusion that lumping in Android/ChromeOS to the broad term is a stat padding exercise. It makes the whole of Linux look like it's the most used OS in the world. But I'm OK with if you want to do so.

    Call it GNU/Linux or Linux I don't care. I just refer to it as whatever distro I've hopped to for this month. So to me, right now I'm typing this on my laptop running Fedora 40 KDE and my mini-desktop is running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie.

    Ok, but what if there isn't any GNU? Musl/Linux?
