"Linux on ARM" has already been won by Android. That's why many ARM SoCs comes with closed Android drivers.
- zobzu 14y agoThat argument makes no sense. ARM chips come with closed source android drivers because those bring money. That's that. If you think GNU/Linux "victory" would be about making money, you'd be sorely mistaking (or else, you can go the ubuntu way and beg for donations, include proprietary apps, track users, and wonder where you failed)
- subsystem 14y agoWho said anything about money? GNU/Linux is about freedom. In most of these new devices you can't run GNU/Linux without a lot of work, because there are no driver, leaving you with no freedom.
