#Android #Linux #Gary #explains
We think we just use Windows but we actually use Linux aswell
sir plz give corvos os realme 6 pro
So when comparing with android we can say it’s GNU/linux and bionic/linux ?
btw UNIX creators said in their v7/v8 note: you can change anything of the os,but the kernel and still it will be called UNIX
Ofc it’s linux. It’s Android/Linux like there is GNU/Linux 😀 … flame on
Short answer for those checking the comments first. The answer is yes and no, and he makes very valid points for this.
Great video. Thanks Gary!
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Thanks and God bless!

Wow!
The misconception just lies within the missing understanding of what a kernel is.
1:05 — Linus himself says that your pronunciation is correct. He should know. Hear him here (and also hear how to pronounce the man’s name): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39QPDTDdXU
It uses Linux kernel but not a Linux distribution, it’s its own os
So does Chrome OS also use the Bionic C library instead of LibC? or is there some other glue going on there?
Great video and great explanation!
Too many words. Android is Linux. When in Android the kernel will be replaced on other kernel not Linux — then Android no more is Linux.
Android ≠ Linux
Android is based on Linux
But Android ≠ Linux
Hi Gary, do you know whether (for example) Android 8.1 uses more resources than Ubuntu 20.04? (when idle and when processing something) And how significant is the resource usage decrease on older Android and Linux distros? Thanks
let’s spread linux over the world
Wasn’t a fan of the usage of .DLL when talking about Linux library files. Why not just say the object file in /lib
Thanks !
This is really awesome.
So Can we install kernel modules, which are compiled for ARM processor/architecture, in android kernel.
Doodle I want to know it’s because it’s like if 100 she is just like the baseline of linux obviously much more to let you know how the call of duty engine is basically just the quake engine but evolved over the years that’s why I was wondering if it actually is then it’s cos if it is Linux then what what team Sweeney said about fortnite not coming to steam or should I say the next he’s a liar because it’s possible if it’s possible on Android it is possible unsteam
So I guess that’s the reason why Android is open sourced correct but if that is the case what is is apples way of thinking because when you think about it if it is the case all things often lyrics the evil but it all based on a type of coding software like yeah Microsoft mad of had DDM goes but I still classifies as a Linux stretch to correct and if that is the case then Windows also is a heavily advanced version of linux which when I talk about a Linux I don’t mean the lyrics we have now I’m in Linux as a kernel and I’m in Linux as a baseline for just the whole system itself
To add she’s another person name lioness and it’s not just Linus tech tips
I’ve listened to so so so many videos trying to properly understand what Exactly a kernel is… THIS ONE DID IT. THANK YOU SO MUCHHH
So the answer is yes and no?
Thank you for this video. Please tell me if you use Amiga OS at all
Could you please make a more dumbed down version of this?
I’m looking for a simple explaination of the android file system. Is this too hard. Does each brand have a different system.
Trying hard to catch up 72 year old 🙂
So basically, Android can be considered a Linux distro, but not a GNU/Linux distro 🙂
great video! thanks Gary! 😀 😀 😀
I-
At this point you can call Android a Linux distro, people just dont accept it. This is why Android is easy to customize, because is Linux and it follows the Linux dogma 🙂
Coz flood of these egotistic Linux Snobs can’t accept the fact that Google have done far more progress and proof of concept than them since the inception of Android
i am * NOT IMPRESSED * by ur performance
Good Explanation. Now can we make a fully open source smart phone NOT controlled by Apple or Google ?
