Is funny because Android is linux, and it's the most popular phone OS by a large margin.
I don't think we have the right definitions here, are we talking about GNU/Linux phones? Other distributions/Linux? Or about anything that is Open Source?
- gavodavo 6y agoAndroid is technically Linux, sure. But it doesn't share the Linux ecosystem. GNU/Linux would be a way to distinguish, but it would exclude distros such as postmarketOS, which are part of the Linux ecosystem.
- MartijnBraam 6y agoAndroid is only technically Linux, not in spirit. Labeling things is hard
- smegger001 6y agomaybe posix? i don't know that GNU is necessary but a open posix/unix complaint environment with root access is.
