It really isn't, it more like Inferno would have replaced its kernel with the Linux kernel.

It is as close to GNU/Linux as Inferno was to UNIX System V.

Which is why Termux has to work around what is actually available as public APIs on the NDK.

It's still Linux, though, the same way Ubuntu is still Linux despite carrying custom patches and security frameworks.

Termux has to work around security restrictions in a way not dissimilar to how you would need to work around an extremely securely configured SELinux setup on RHEL.
