if we're being correct and practical, let me be clear that 'linux' is gnu/linux, so android uses linux kernel, but is not 'linux'

also, 'gaming' (union of pc and console) and 'mobile gaming' are significantly different demographics

No sir. You can't win both sides of the argument whenever it's more convenient for you.

If you are going to write GNU/Linux, be consistent with its usage.

Linux is the kernel. My OS is Ubuntu, not just Linux. Android is also Linux.

Linux is NOT GNU/Linux

Gnu = coreutils + POSIX + gcc + others;

Linux = the kernel

Accurate, but in general terms... Linux desktop = GNU/Linux.
