The typical troubleshooting process is very distinct for the three groups. So that's my "quacks like a duck" litmus test.

That litmus test is only testing the average intelligence of the users. A typical Android user would also use the Ubuntu Software Center when on a Linux PC -- what is the difference between that and the Google Play Store... besides what computing language is used in installed programs?
Also I will have you know I never use apt-get, does that mean
ArchLinux isn't linux?
What would you call someone who runs
LFS? They don't even use a package manager, it is all "./configure; make; make install" after manually downloading sources
