Nobody cares about what runs under the hood (I mean the real market, not the dozen of us nerds), as long as it looks and plays nice. Market already uses linux both in the form of android but also as a server OS. For both of these the financial incentive was there for someone to write the drivers, make the UI user friendly (android users never have to open a terminal), create sales channels.
Desktop and laptop market is weird because no hardware vendor wants to compete with MS. The only one who does (apple), owns both the hardware and software as well as sales channels, so they are not affected by MS’s deals.
- GoblinSlayer 9mo agoI had to open a terminal on android to copy photos to laptop with tar|netcat for backup and larger screen.
- jama211 9mo agoNo, you didn’t, that’s just the solution you chose to go with. You could’ve used literally any other file transfer method.
- GoblinSlayer 9mo agoWhich method, sftp?
- jama211 9mo agoYou can’t think of any other method to transfer a photo from a phone to a computer? You know, one that doesn’t involve a terminal?
- GoblinSlayer 9mo agoRun a local instance of nextcloud? I wonder if it doesn't involve a terminal.
- jama211 9mo agoAre you being intentionally obtuse my guy?
- GoblinSlayer 9mo agoDo you suggest to send it all through gmail?
