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.
But Android is a Linux… Not GNU/Linux, but neither is Alpine.
And OSX is a BSD but nobody i ntheir right mind would consider it a BSD distro.

I’m gonna be real here I don’t care.
Understandable, have a good day!
