This is a dumb argument. Yes, my phone uses Linux. How many of the Android users actively come in contact with the underlying system?
Mainstream Linux means a big part of people actively choosing to install a Linux distribution or buy a computer or notebook with a real Linux distro pre installed (not that lightweight barebones distro they preinstall so they can sell it without Windows but with OS).
I use Gentoo, the family PC has OpenSUSE, only my wife’s laptop has Windows… Because guess what, she wants to use what she’s used to, what she knows.
@tslnox@BorgDrone google and android based their flagship products on open source projects they have gone far, far, far out of their way to avoid contributing anything more than the absolute minimum back to, same for AWS and all the rest, it’s blatent exploitation

How is that mainstream? Desktop computers (including notebooks) are a niche market.
