81% of Smartphones powered by Linux (2018)
- mikece 6y agoToo bad the vast majority of those "Linux powered phones" are completely useless without Google's Mobile Services (GMS) which is not only closed source but Google moves more and more functionality into GMS and out of AOSP with every iteration of Android. The Linux layer under Android is getting more and more like the Linux layer in Oracle Linux every year. I am very hopeful that Pinephone and Purism will gain maturity and market share so that a truly open mobile operating system is viable and has a growing app ecosystem.
- rbanffy 6y agoLast time I checked, it was possible to run a full Linux environment on Android (ie https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu&hl=en_IE https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu...). What exactly do you want to do?
