He asked and said he’d wait, I just took the straight up easy route and grabbed the first video off search. I honestly don’t know much about Linux, but I’m learning more every day.
Chrome books seem like they’re closer to Linux than Windows is though, right?
Bad example because you can. With the linux container you can install any linux app and it works on a Chromebook. Appears in the app search too. But I definitely get what you mean, Chrome OS and Android may use the Linux kernel but they’ll never be Linux
you say bad example, yet you literally have to jump through hoops to do it. I think it’s a bad fucking distro of linux, if it requires you to setup and configure and entire fucking container system in order to run non google approved applications, specifically those that debian hosts, because i’m not sure it lets you run other containers.
Chrome OS and Android may use the Linux kernel but they’ll never be Linux
yes, my point here is that android is linux in the same way that you can install blender on chromeos using an entire secondary system, and bullshit containerization, while i can just tell my package manager to install it, and it fucking installs it. And then i can just fucking open it.
By this logic windows is also a fucking linux system because you can use WSL on it.
exactly! It’s such a loose definition, even though it fits none of the standard modes of operation for linux. If something that broadly not linux counts as linux, we might as well count BSD as a subset of linux, even though it’s completely different.
? the age of the Linux phone has been here for years with Android
android is not the linux phone.
The chromebook would the desktop linux workstation if that were true.
Go install blender on a chromebook, i’ll wait.
Like this?
cons:
pros:
Bad examples. Just running some program is not an argument. Even Windows can run most Linux programs in WSL, but does not mean it’s Linux.

Okay I never thought of it this way and I actually completely understand your point now.
exactly! It’s such a loose definition, even though it fits none of the standard modes of operation for linux. If something that broadly not linux counts as linux, we might as well count BSD as a subset of linux, even though it’s completely different.
No? Linux – all the benefits why we want Linux = Android.
Try and run Android on your PC for a week and tell me how it went.
