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.

Yeah, using an unmaintained launcher and a mobile os that stopped getting security patches are not the same thing.
Correct. The OS will still function for a long while, because it provides all the basic stuff it needs. Wofi, on the other hand, could stop working for people tomorrow, because a dependency updated and Wofi has not been updated to support a new syntax or API.
Yes and no: an unmaintained android will have trouble running newer apps due to older versions of SDK, and you pretty much can't do anything about it (AFAIK), but older software can be nixed/flatpaked or even statically compiled/appimaged (and we can pretty much expect no trouble on the kernel side due to their "not breaking userspace" mantra)
True, but when the android SDK gets to old, it's been years since it was last released. Most apps these days still support Android 6. A thing depending on wlroots, will likely break on the next wlroots update. I do get your point though. Anything that is unmaintained is at risc of breaking at any point.
