Hildegarde, 3 months ago Linux is a kernel. In that sense Android is Linux. However when people say Linux they usually mean the full OS with the GNU utilities and all the other things that make up a Linux distro. In that sense, Android is not Linux as pretty much everything other than the kernel is built specifically for android.
