> why doesn’t mainline linux copy some things from android?
Because Android is actively interfering with:
- a shared filesystem where you can manage files from a graphical file manager, terminal, Git, editor/IDE, compiler, Python runtime, photo manager, and hex editor
- Being able to debug apps from other apps (Mac disables lldb altogether unless you disable SIP, then you need to type your password every time, and Android ships with no debugging tools at all)
- kaba0 5y ago> a shared filesystem There is absolutely zero reason for any random app to have access to arbitrary files on my computer. Why should a random bash script be able to wipe out all my family pictures? Also, there is nothing inherent in the android model that would make a “shared filesystem” infeasible - it is just the wrong default. With specific access rights sure, it should be allowed.
