The article talks about browsers that use Linux in the user agent. This includes Alpine Linux - which is not GNU/Linux. It also splits out Chrome OS which is pretty much GNU/Linux.
- blueflow 1y agoAlpine and GNU/Linux are Posix, while Android is not.
- TheDong 1y agoI don't think Posix is very relevant to what is or isn't linux. macOS is more posix than NixOS, but everyone knows NixOS is a real linux distro, and macOS is not one.
- blueflow 1y agoMe neither! I was suggesting to use "Posix" instead of "Linux" because it properly separates GNU/Linux or other Linuxes from Android. Posix is what Android isn't but what MacOS is. What people erroneously try to call "Linux" because they don't have a better word.
