I’ve come to the conclusion that lumping in Android/ChromeOS to the broad term is a stat padding exercise. It makes the whole of Linux look like it’s the most used OS in the world. But I’m OK with if you want to do so.
Call it GNU/Linux or Linux I don’t care. I just refer to it as whatever distro I’ve hopped to for this month. So to me, right now I’m typing this on my laptop running Fedora 40 KDE and my mini-desktop is running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie.
Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.
And if you’re talking about all of those in general, it’s just Linux.

I’m just running Linux. Or for the Linux people it’s KDE Plasma. Or Ubuntu with LXDE. Or degoogled Android. Or whatever, these are examples.
Don’t you dare to talk about Google Spyware OS in “general” with free OSes
Don’t you confuse people with your open os’es by calling them free. No charge is the only real free.
