From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Note my reply is not an answer, just more questions.

I would assume it mainly talks about the Google services, that are also disabled by alternative Android versions like e/OS (fork of LineageOS). But they come with an Open Source service implementation microG, to be somewhat compatible, but it doesn't guarantee 100% compatibility. Sooo, does Leptop disable those Google services without a replacement? Can it use microG?
