First, that's not true: almost all features are ported.
Then, Android is quite much more far from a Linux desktop stack than an Ubuntu phone. It notably has a different (very broken) libc, pthread implementation and different audio output stack...
- aroch 13y agoWell, it is true...if "almost all" the feature but not all of them are ported, then its not "fully ported".
- jbk 13y agoYou want DVD and Blu-Ray playback on Android? Or external cameras? Porting and shipping all features in the default build are 2 very different things...
- aroch 13y agoI'm not saying it makes sense, but the GP is correct that its not a full port. Also, there are android devices that can take both CD/DVD and eternal cameras, so it isn't too far fetched
- jbk 13y agoSorry, but we'll have to agree to disagree here. It's like saying the version on Windows is not a full port because there are some plugins missing compared to the Linux version. And vice-versa. Very little features not possible (mostly because of the OS) can hardly be considered as "not fully ported" as meant by salient.
