Get off your high horse with the naming etiquette, almost everyone means gnu/Linux when talking about Linux, they want the gnu tool chain, and the desktop environments and the packages not just the Linux kernel running on their phone. You're not special or smarter by pointing out android is technically Linux, you're just being obtuse.
Erm akchually 🤓
postmarketOS is a mobile Linux distro that is neither AOSP/Linux nor GNU/Linux. It is based on Alpine Linux, a lightweight distro that uses something other than GNU (busybox and musl libc)
