Yeah and it needs "more memory" because it runs Java. Modern iPhones have way more than enough memory to run one app at a time and a few in the background.

- Yetanfou 7y agoWho cares why the device 'needs more memory' (which it doesn't by the way, the excessive amounts of memory in recent Android devices is more of a marketing ploy than a necessity) when the goal is to select a device to run an alternative operating system on? That is, after all, the context of my reply.
- m0zg 7y agoBut Android is already kinda Linux. You can even get shell and everything.
- Yetanfou 7y agoIs is, just add `termux` and install whatever packages you want. That won't help those who want to install Sailfish or Ubuntu or their very own mobile Linux creation or whatever other option they might contemplate. For those applications it makes sense to get a device which is open to this type of tinkering.
