It is a Linux distribution, it just turned out that "let me interrupt for a moment" meme was actually correct and what you wanted was a portable GNU distribution with an open kernel, and instead you got a Linux distribution with Google's user space and now instead of realizing the terminology was wrong from the get to you've misidentified the very trick Google played on us.
Turns out a kernel is just a kernel after all, and you really do want GNU+Linux, not just Linux.
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoI said distro not gnu/linux for a reason, but yeah what I wanted out of Android is a tinkerer friendly OS. I've long since abandoned Android anyway.
- esseph 11mo agoWhat did to accept in Androids place, and did you find your tinkerer friendly OS?
- giancarlostoro 11mo agoI moved my wallet away from Google completely and went with Apple. If someone makes a serious OS that has the level of quality as iOS' apps for mobile I would consider getting their phones. I would be willing to pay extra on phones for the OS itself in order to fund its development, so long as its core is open source.
