How would it be a "Linux phone" if the only software you could run was web apps? That which defines an OS is its APIs and unique capabilities, anything can act

How would it be a "Linux phone" if the only software you could run was web apps? That which defines an OS is its APIs and unique capabilities, anything can act as a bootloader for Chrome.
- eternityforest 3y agoUnless they actually convince Linux to block non web apps, you could run whatever you want on a FOSS platform, you'd just be able to run proprietary web stuff in addition to native free software. I'm guessing eventually the native free software would move more and more into the browser too, but that's fine as long as you can still run the stuff that hasn't been moved yet or isn't interested in moving.
