Both Android and ChromeOS are Linux, and Google's spying there...

Do we really need to bring back "GNU/Linux" for the pedants?

It's funny how Linux is only Linux if it benefits Linux nerds but the moment someone points out that Android, Chrome, Steam Deck, anything with telemetry and Linux has telemetry all of a sudden it's not "really Linux" anymore.

It really is Schrodinger's OS.

@CapraObscura @sin_free_for_00_days

I think steam deck is usually considered linux.

Benefits to proton after all make it out to linux. ChromeOS and Android are more debatable, although Google does submit a lot of code upstream to the kernel.
