> People who think this more likely don't realize that Android uses the Linux kernel Do you really think people at the FOSDEM don't know this? And saying that android use the linux kernel is honestly close to saying that mac os use Unix... Plus the userland and systems api are fully google proprietary, you couldn't just make a android app work "on linux".

They already do as Linux is the kernel for Android.
