That's not Linux Linux, that's Linux powered derivatives.

It's a bit like saying that people who use Android phones use Linux. Sure, the kernel may be Linux, but they don't use the desktop Linux that everyone refers to when they use the word "Linux" (bar a few exceptions)

For the first comment it’s a Linux powered gnu/Linux derivative. It’s fully Linux. Just like android is fully Linux.
