That's funny I've had several Android apps run fine under Linux mobile OSes.

I'm not going to say they're ready for general public daily use but there's no reason they one day couldn't be? There's a foundation there. With a good enthusiast community we could get it to the point that it's at least useable for power users and grow from there.

Several? Well, consider me corrected, it's clearly ready for prime time.

Thank you for starting with a contrary clickbait sentence, then immediately following it up with a confirmation of my comment that linux is not suitable as a mobile OS.

You're just a giant bundle of negativity and unpleasantness, aren't you?

And I'm starting to notice that being a bit more common from piefed users nowadays

Foundation? Well, consider me corrected, I'm clearly ready for pound town.

What's the point in the sarcasm?

There's never going to be some viable alternative to Android and iOS that just springs up out of nowhere fully developed ready for daily driving...
