Not when android manufacturers/google refuse to give me the type of control that open posix systems provide. Android is a useless hostle system for people like me (and it's not because of improved security).
- pjmlp 3y agoOpen POSIX systems, basically GNU/Linux, aren't going to last beyond the lifetime of our generation. If you feel inclined to mention the BSDs, how are those upstream contributions from Apple and Sony going?
- charcircuit 3y ago>Not when android manufacturers/google refuse to give me the type of control that open posix systems provide. Can you provide an example of how Android does not give you the control that you seek, how it is useless, or how is it hostile? From my point of view Android is much more suited for being an OS targeting consumer usage than a POSIX clone. POSIX comes from a world with much different requirements that do not work in the modern world.
