Posturing about windows bad linux good and admitting to using an android phone for convenience feels like peak nerd gatekeeping.
- dolmen 5y agoAndroid uses a Linux kernel.
- bulgr0z 5y agoIt does for the time being, but conflating "android" and AOSP just because of the linux kernel is a bit of a stretch, to me it feels like saying macos is "fine because Darwin is open source"
- phendrenad2 5y agoWhen people say Linux they usually mean GNU/Linux, which Android is not.
- fragileone 5y agoNumerous Android phones can run mainline Linux and many more can run a Android-based ROM. What's wrong with buying a phone with commercial Android then getting flashed with something different?
