Uh you know that Debian isn't just Linux either right? It's based on Linux. The same way that Android is.

Debian is GNU/Linux and that's what almost always people mean when they say Linux. Android is not GNU/Linux and doesn't even use the mainline Linux kernel - just some old, heavily modified version.

Mobian or Manjaro ARM on the other hand are GNU/Linux distributions. They run the same software that you can run on your desktop distro.

Moving the goalposts. We weren't talking about GNU. Not all Linux distributions use GNU.

Not all Linux distributions use GNU.

Almost all popular ones do.
