Android has not grown out of Linux- it is based on the Linux kernel. It is as much Linux as spaghetti is pasta.
So are fusilli, tagliatelle, lasagne and linguine.
How can you say you don’t like pasta without defining which types of pasta?
Or, to drop the metaphor, what incarnation of Linux do you hate? Linux on your set top TV box, Linux on your printer, Linux in your router, or Linux on the server serving up this page?
