- anitil 18d agoYeah I've seen plenty of kernels that start with a 2 with no forward path possible due to "we don't know how to get our driver working anymore"
- mrheosuper 18d agoI really hope those don't have access to any networks.
- iririririr 18d agogood chance the linux running in your high end phone's modem runs 2.x kernel. i dont deal with that anymorrle, but last one I saw with 2.x was the pixel 6 pro.
- mrheosuper 18d agoJust check, my 2YO phone runs kernel 6.6, not latest but i think good enough for production. Edited: I misunderstood what you mean, you were talking about the modem subsystem, sorry.
- 306bobby 18d agoI don't think you misunderstood, I think they're talking out their arse. Modems don't run Linux, they run RTOS operating systems. ShannonOS in the case of the Pixel 6 with a exynos modem
- 306bobby 18d agoThe pixel 6 pro runs ShannonOS an RTOS system, it's an exynos modem
