|
| The Play Store has millions of apps for Linux on phones. People
| who think this more likely don't realize that Android uses the
| Linux kernel than those who are unaware that Sailfish OS and
| Ubuntu Touch have dedicated app stores.

| Do you really think people at the FOSDEM don't know this? And
| saying that android use the linux kernel is honestly close to
| saying that mac os use Unix... Plus the userland and systems
| api are fully google proprietary, you couldn't just make a
| android app work "on linux".
| charcircuit wrote:

|
| Yes, as such a comment wouldn't make sense if they did as
| Android is the consumer operating system with the highest
| market share.
|
| >And saying that android use the linux kernel is honestly

|
| It's no different than saying that Ubuntu uses the Linux
| kernel.
|
| >Plus the userland and systems api are fully google

|
| No, you can find open source code for userland and system
| apis at https://cs.android.com/
|
| >you couldn't just make a android app work "on linux".
|
| They already do as Linux is the kernel for Android.
