That's like pointing at an Android-based smart fridge, saying it doesn't run Skyrim, and saying it's a Linux issue, because android is based on Linux.

If you want to play the semantics game, Android does not run a Linux kernel and is only based on it. Which makes it no longer Linux.

Nice try.

A patched and modified Linux kernel is still a Linux kernel

Your uneducated made-up definitions of what is Linux kernel or not don't change reality

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

Then show me Arch or Debian booting with the Android kernel if you think so much that its still a Linux kernel. Don't worry, I'll wait

[-] Waryle@jlai.lu 1 points 2 weeks ago

Keep waiting, I won't indulge for your imaginary definition. The Linux kernel is not defined by whether or not it can run desktop or server distributions.

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

Android is not Linux, its an OS with its own kernel. You cant define it because I dont think you even know what you are talking about.
