===Linux-kernel-based operating systems===
Several operating systems include the Linux kernel, but have a userland that differs significantly from that of mainstream Linux distributions:
▲* [[Alpine Linux]], which is popular on servers and uses [[musl]] C standard library and [[BusyBox]] to provide its userland.
* [[Android (operating system)|Android]], Google's commercial operating system based on [[Android (operating system)|Android OSP]] that runs on many devices such as smartphones, smart TVs, set-top boxes.
** There are several third-party distributions of AOSP, in turn, including: [[LineageOS]], [[GrapheneOS]] and [[Android-x86]].
▲* [[Chimera Linux]], which is a community distribution that utilizes a [[FreeBSD]] userland, musl C standard library, [[Alpine Package Keeper]] (APK) package manager and Dinit init system.
* [[ChromeOS]], Google's commercial operating system based on [[ChromiumOS]] that only runs on [[Chromebook]]s, [[Chromebox]]es and [[tablet computer]]s. Like [[Android (operating system)|Android]], it has the [[Google Play|Google Play Store]] and other [[Google Workspace|Google apps]]. Support for applications that require GNU compatibility is available through a virtual machine called Crostini and referred to by Google as Linux support, see {{Section link|Chromebook|Compatibility with Linux applications (GNU compatibility)}}.
