More advanced in what sense? There are lots of devices using BSD, so that's entirely possible.
- throwawaylinux 3y agoMore advanced in terms of supported features and hardware. Taking one off the top of my head that was relevant around the time Android was being developed, dynamic ticks which is important for low power operation. Linux supported this in 2007 about 5 years before FreeBSD and I think NetBSD still doesn't support it. Could not field a phone OS without that, at least not back in those days.
