      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.
