Google has infinite money, a golden membership of Linux foundation, they ship Linux-based OS used by billions of people. Even they can’t support Linux kernel, instead they are supporting many thousands of lines of code of kernel patches for their Android.
I think the reason is Linux architecture. Specifically, the fact Linux insists drivers are compiled into the kernel, instead of providing an ABI for them.
- hulitu 5y agoGoogle has money. Unfortunately it has no HW design expertise. They could do what IBM did in the 80's: create a platform. But it is too much for google. And, taking into account the crap they make, it is better that way.
