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?

    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

      I think the only argument would be that it’s not the mainline kernel. (which saves it from things like the bcachefs nonsense)

      You’re right; the kernel is still Linux.
