why does android pretend to be linux based when its entirely proprietary based per phone and every version purposely requires higher hardware resources to prevent you from ever getting more than maybe 2 versions before the phone is just barely below the minimum (most likely RAM) requirements?

That's factually incorrect.

Newer versions of Android run better and are generally less resource intensive than older versions.
You're just taking manufacturer ROMs as standard, and they pile shit in that slows it down.

Also, it has a Linux kernel and that is all that matters.

the base android versions require incrimentally more hardware requirements, the RAM is almost always the most impacted

literally every app that lets you test your phone vs the base android version requirements shows this

my quad core CPU is 75% overly efficient to run even 6.0, its a native 4.4 phone

the GPU is also almost equally as efficient, the RAM meanwhile is just shy of 5.1, much less 6.0

Hey there anon, my name actually is Brandon Smith and I live in Plainville, Connecticut, United States of America, and I just wanted to say that you are an absolute cock-inhaling faggot of a human being who should go and shitfuck himself up the dickhole for having such genuinely retarded opinions. It literally seems to me that you may actually legitimately be a mentally handicapped person whose handler has accidentally allowed to access a computer. My recommendation is that you go out to your nearest freeway at your earliest convenience and insert yourself into the traffic such that motorists are forced to either swerve or splatter your being upon the hoods and windshields of their cars, traumatizing all those within them as you do, so that these sorts of inane and stupid shit thoughts that seem to just spew out of your anus of a mouth will never be seen on this board again. Alternatively, go to your resident barbecue and turn the grill on to its highest heat, then place your hands into the flames until they are roasted into unrecognizable stumpy, blackened appendages that will require years of treatment and therapy to heal into scarred lumps which will require a lifetime of medication to relieve the constant and permanent pain from nerve damage, in order to prevent yourself from ever typing such a dumb sentence ever again.
Thanks,
Brandon

Android uses Linux kernel, does not pretend to be Linux based.
/thread
>>
>>54491348
You're trying to apply desktop OS thinking to a smartphone OS. It's really not feasible to have a generic Android image that'll work on any phone, they have to be device specific.

"Linux-based" does not mean "like my Ubuntu (or whatever) CD that I can use to install on this Dell laptop or that desktop I built or that server over there". Android uses the Linux kernel. Therefore it's Linux-based.

and stalman would roll in his grave over how non-free "as in freedom" android is

even if you have a nexus, you're still confined to the software provided as-is with each one having a TOS to agree to just to install it and hardcoded shitware that cant be uninstalled....easily (installing a custom rom isnt easy)

So if I take Windows 10, replace NT with the Linux kernel and keep everything else exactly as it is (forced updates, proprietary software, app store, telemetry and so on), you'll say Windows 10 is good now? Is the kernel all that matters, you literal fucking retard?

That happened years ago.
The /g/ crowd is self-selecting and this always descends to the lowest common denominator.
Haven't you noticed that the stated intention, a tech discussion board, is totally ignored?
>>
>>54490702
Android doesn't pretend to be linux-based, it IS linux based, and it is not proprietary. Only software that runs on top of Android is. AOSP is an entire, functional smartphone OS; used as the basis for pretty much every custom ROM and OEM ROM, which is why every OEM has a fork of AOSP with tweaks for each device. The proprietary parts of Android are exactly like the proprietary parts of every Linux distribution out there, and are as follows:

-Third-party software
-Device Drivers

Everything else is Open Source.
>>
>>54500381

you can take Ubuntu and easily run some terminal codes and change anything you want and not have anything running in the background if you choose

you cant do that with android

even "custom ROMs" are just preconfiled closed sources with that stuff disabled by default
