> but mean a linux system to which they have root access Ah, like my Pixel 2. Respectfully, you might be on the wrong forum (and possibly the worst one outside XDA) to say "Most people here do not, and never did, have root access on their Android handsets". If your distinction for what makes a Linux system a Linux system, is root access, recognize that many, many people here have met and cleared that bar.
