Only in a very loose sense. MacOS has some BSD userland and a custom kernel with some bits and pieces taken from BSD (and the also-related Mach). Android has an actual Linux kernel, which I can plainly see when I build it from source.
In any case, my comment was meant only as a light-hearted way to point out that Android has the portability that OP would need to get a usable OS on a tablet.

I know you’re asking about linux, but just pointing out that you can try android x86 on it, just in case you don’t know about the project.
It’s technically linux. :)
It’s Linux like macOS is BSD.

MacOS is actually a registered Unix.
That would actually be ideal, but last I heard a lot of things weren’t working. I’ll have to go look it up again.
