Meaning, it's sort of "GEOS" in that although it has "OS" in the name, it sits on top of the "real" OS. Tock is apparently its "native" kernel/OS, but it can also sit on QNX and Linux in the form of a Wasm runtime.
Android is an OS that uses a heavily-customized Linux kernel.
- IshKebab 3y agoThe definition of OS is not as strict as you are imagining. You could equally say Android sits on top of the "real" Linux OS. "But Linux is just a kernel, not an OS!" Oh so is FreeRTOS not an OS? What about the "Little Kernel Embedded OS"? You're nitpicking imaginary definitions.
