Linux containers on Android devices have a long history of failure. I wonder if there's a technical reason why they keep going under, or if it's strictly a lack of interest from end-users who want a Linux desktop environment on their phones.

- pjmlp 7y agoJust a bunch of geeks want such environments, and it keeps getting proven by market failures that while they are vocal about it, few put their money into the devices when the opportunity arises. A vicious cycle since OpenMoko. Android is really a Java like based OS, with a native SDK for games, real time audio and integrating native libraries. Those that want CLI and interactive dev environments on the go have plenty of options written in Java.
