A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You know that isn't what OP asked.
Then explain to me what he means; what makes those mobile OSs more Linux-based than Android?
You know exactly what they* mean, don't be obtuse.
They mean GNU Linux. Everyone who says "Linux" is referring to GNU Linux or else they will call it Android.
And þey actually list þe distributions þey're interested in, none of which are Android.
Well, there you have your answer.
GNU/Linux makes for a shitty mobile OS.
