What is this Vega OS ?
Is it a custom OS (custom kernel and everything) ? Is it a linux distribution?
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/vega/0.21/vega-overview.html https://developer.amazon.com/docs/vega/0.21/vega-overview.ht... does not say much...
- laveur 1y agoThis is exactly what I've been wondering... The developer page doesn't really provide much insight into things either. Other than their development environment is based on React Native...
- nguyenkien 1y agoFrom last year announcement, this is custom linux.

- nguyenkien 1y agoThis docs for FireOS, don't confuse with new Vega OS
- mrandish 1y agoAfter skimming TFA, I came here wondering the same thing... what is it and how is it different than Android, Linux or other alternatives. I realize marketing writers think they must always lead with the usual vaguely positive puffery but it has no concrete meaning and contains no actionable information.
- bsimpson 1y agoAnd if it runs APKs from the Amazon Appstore on non-Android Linux, what tech are they using to do it?
- yapfrog 1y agoI don't think it runs APKs. They'd probably market that feature more prominently if it were the case. They have their own format called VPKG. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/vega/0.21/app-submission.html https://developer.amazon.com/docs/vega/0.21/app-submission.h... "You must have a VPKG file available as an app binary."
