I guess what people mean by a Linux phone is a GNU/Linux phone.
The term isn't that accurate because the userspace might not be glibc and GNU coreutils etc. But I guess that's what people mean: a phone running X11 or Wayland, and the entire stack that comes with it, as opposed to the Android userspace (which does not use X11, and has a pretty different userspace structure).
- b3n 6y agoWhy would X11 on a phone mean Linux? X works on many operating systems, it was never designed specifically for Linux.
