We Must Break The Chains

Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.
This is similar to telling people to stop advocating people using Linux on their computers and just use WSL in windows if you want Linux. You don't have the same level of control and privacy, freedom, features etc. Also you're beholden to the host OS for updates and security, etc. I'd MUCH rather Linux on bare metal, in both cases my computer and my phone. And yah you can make the point that a Linux phone is definitely less secure than android at this point but in the future when its more mature, I'm sure people will focus on tweaking security to fill the security holes.
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)
