From your post: > The Kindle runs stripped down Linux with a React Native frontend along with Java backend applications. Honest question: what exactly is wrong with this setup? There's the OS, there are services and user land apps written in java and misc native code, and from the link there's a single component where Lua was used as bridge code. The GUI is React Native, which is just a framework to simplify the design and implementation of native GUIs. So exactly what's wrong?
