Comment on Why is it called linux phone?

  1. Yes, android is technically Linux
  2. There are forks (Graphene, e, etc) but none approach the popularity of traditional Android so you’ll never find them on phones sold by major retailers/carriers
  3. Theres not a huge market (or rather, it’s not a huge moneymaker) to develop an android fork that focuses on things like privacy and security. There’s a reason phones come preloaded with Facebook and Candy Crush.
