Homebrew Is the Nintendo 3DS OS based on Linux?

[Flaire]

I'm arguing with someone who is saying the 3DS runs on a linux based OS, but is he right?

No signs of Linux as far as I know. The browser contains open source software.

I think your friend has mixed up the 3DS with the Switch.

The Switch OS was originally going to be a version of CyanogenOS which is as we know android based and android is a modified version of Linux.
