Apart from the unfortunate sounding name, for this to be relevant on android phones or watches, it needs to simply work with the 2+ million apps out there. Just posix compatibility is insufficient - apps rely on Linux implementation behavior.
- pjmlp 6y agoNo one doing apps cares about POSIX on or Linux on Android, unless we are talking about people rooting their devices. The official stable APIs are the Java/Kotlin frameworks, NDK native libraries, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries. Exactly to cut down on misbehaviours of developers getting hold of unofficial Linux syscalls or non public .so, Google has started to use LinuxSE and seccomp to lock out such kind of apps. So any Android application that only uses public APIs will have no trouble migrating to Fuchsia.
