Although Android uses the Linux kernel, it's not a Linux distro in the original sense. The original sense being that's it a Unix like OS.

I'm pretty sure there isn't an agreed upon definition of Linux distro and android being a distro has been a debate for a long time. Some, like me, see it as a Linux based distributed os.

But I guess we could then say LineageOS since it's even in the Linux distro graph
