Android is an operating system it’s just one that runs mostly in a JVM. It has a very similar internal structure and architecture to Linux and does run the Linux kernel (heavily modified version of it), but it also has very different functions from Linux.
So Linux is an operating system and Android isn’t?

I know. I was just playing with Cunningham’s law to clarify that while Android is not GNU it’s still Linux.
