Android is Linux.
here is no way they’re going to push people to using their competitor on consumer products. They want people to stay on Windows.

Yes and no
woelkchen@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Only yes. GNU software is irrelevant for anything being Linux (lots of other Linux distributions use no GNU software at all, most notably embedded variants using musl and Busybox). The kernel being a modified one is also irrelevant because almost every distribution ships patches to the kernel.
Fact is, Microsoft ships Linux-based products and even if it’s highly unlikely what they will switch the Xbox business to release Linux hardware, the outright statement “that’ll literally never happen” is ignorant.
