And OSX is a BSD but nobody i ntheir right mind would consider it a BSD distro.

    OSX is UNIX, built on BSD foundations but not BSD.

    Android on the other hand IS Linux, and is distributed. So I say, it's a Linux distribution.

    All other things that people mention as qualifying for a Linux distro are either GNU libs (which alpine doesn't have) or POSIX/UNIX way of doing things, which would disqualify Android from being POSIX compliant but not from being a Linux distro.
