Can you install Librewolf on Android with the instructions for ‘other Linux’? Why are Linux phones still in development and not able to be daily driven if you could just swith distros, fork Android, etc?

    Lol, humorous, but meh, Android is not Linux.

    Android uses a Linux kernel, but the shell/API is Android. Just like we had a Posix API on Windows, and the Win32 API. Using the POSIX API didn’t make Windows a POSIX OS.

      Android may or may not be posix but it’s absolutely Linux. The kernel is Linux. The rest of your typical distro is gnu stuff that was written for a completely different kernel
