Android uses a Linux kernel, and is certainly quite popular. It’s only arguably a flavor of Linux, but shows it’s possible to create a Linux for the masses. It’s helpful to have the financial resources that Google has, though.
As of mid 2017 Android is the most used OS in the world, and is a fork of Linux (not arguably), albeit heavily sandboxed and reworked specifically for mobile devices.
