I understand that An= droid isn't a fork of Linux, I meant to imply that although Android is = argued to be a Linux distro
Linux distros are = not only "Linux", they are GNU/Linux.  Linux is only the ker= nel of a GNU/Linux system (a distro). Android is not a distro because they = don't have GNU, but Android is "Linux" because it has Linux a= s kernel.
I understand that Plan= 9 is not being developed anymore,
It is not d= eveloped anymore in Bell Labs, but many of the original developers are part= of the Plan9 Foundation and they are promoting it in different ways: https://plan9foundation.= org/activities.html So I would not say that it "is not being devel= oped anymore".
