From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

gOS is not the same. It will have the limitations of sideloading coming too. Functionality is not all there and pixels fund the oppressors.
Afaik the sideloding crackdown is tied to Google-certified ROMs, so Graphene won't be affected, since Google-certified means that the OS has to ship GMS plus all the bullshit from Google.
Does the AOSP not affect graphene
AOSP != Google-certified Android.
I thought google maintained it?
They do, but anyone can fork it and remove this shit.
