the Google crap is what makes android android?
Yes, that's what I'm asserting. When you call an os 'android' I will expect it to be filled with all sorts of nasty software. The operating systems based on android that remove such malware may call themselves 'ungoogled android' or something more unique, like for example '/e/os', which is why differentiating between android and e has no need to be corrected upon.
Yea I wish, but aren't Linux and android systems different in like ...all regards, basically?
