They’re still stuck on Linux for mobile.

you mean the technicality that android is Linux based?

Yes, that one exactly. Good call out, but let’s be honest. There’s a big difference between Android and the Linux we know and love. It’s not about using the Linux kernel. There is no widespread, polished, supported mobile Linux distribution comparable to iOS or Android in reach (at least nothing functional for use as a phone). GNU/Linux distros on phones would be a warm welcome.

Biggest issue is whatever is going on with mobile devices compared to desktop. I don’t know what you call it here, drivers? But each device is just so closed down, you can’t “just run” another software on it. I imagine if desktops also each required custom images based on model, people would only be using unmodified pre-installed Windows.

yhea, that’s why it’s only a technicality, I think it’s just based on the Linux kernel.
