Linux had the lead on touch compiz etc
By non running native Linux looses the lead it always had on being on the latest tech and taking full advantage
As chroot Linux cannot take full advantage of touch and graphics Why it is even legal to hijack an open source gnu Linux and close it to displace the open one is interesting Gnu Linux is not BSD, yet it is being used as if it was BSD to keep the open versions out and from evolving Linux used to be ahead on hardware adoption, and there used to be excitement of getting Linux running on all the hardware and taking advantage of the hardware Today much of this optimism and breakthroughs is vanishing, giving rise to proprietary solutions using Linux at their core But the advantage of using Linux as an experimental platform for new hardware and user interfaces is being lost Linux used to be on the cutting edge today the monopoly duopoly triopoly of Apple android and Microsoft, which funds and receives most of the proceeds or funds most of the propaganda, is cutting Linux out of the market Microsoft was supposed to have been broken up as a monopoly Today most of these problems can be traced back to Microsoft Intel mega monopolies which Google and Apple play into With no opposition and based on national security and the NSA and mandates from Intel Microsoft virus owned companies, Linux is in effect being cut out as an option In a chroot environment, it's a shadow of itself and not in control of the OS or apps etc or the computer or the freedom of the computer |

You keep repeating the same claims without offering any substantiating evidence or theory. And your knowledge of Linux, the GNU licence, BSD and the real world seems to be lacking. |

Linux is a second class citizen in these chroot environments
No acc learned hardware, no direct access to the screen
No proper access to the full hardware Linux is becoming a second class citizen on everything but the servers |
I believe they are in fact in violation of gpl
Both are open
But modifying gpl and not releasing the code is a violation In BSD even though it's open this is permissible |

linux may not be the dominant on android tablets, but then again you can't install windows on android tablets either canonical DOES make ubuntu for phones/tablets, and you forget all the desktop/laptops that run linux no, linux is NOT becoming second class citizen, please stop saying that it's just plane wrong |

Despite being a violation modifying the code and not distributing it, it's still being done
Here are some interesting articles, they may or may not have the correct answers

i was thinking to make my next phone a ubuntu phone.
convergence seems to be the thing we all look for, but i'm not sure how far it has been implemented yet. opinions, backed by facts? oh, and... |
Either the OP is trolling or is rather clueless, mayhap a fool. As Tyndale hated the Romish church so does one hate Google. However, despite the uber-intrusive policies of the tech giant, the source code is open source. What part of that not clear? Why is Linux not on more tablets beyond Android? My guess is that it has to do with money and with the interest level of the typical consumer.as has been declared a Ford (Fix or Repair Daily) auto does not come with a Chrysler powerplant. Heck, I did not purchase a used iPhone so it could run Solaris.
Frankly, I think the average consumer does not know about Linux on a tablet or cares. Ignorance is a powerful marketing tool for big name corporations with billions at stake. Whoever said this is a dead thread going nowhere is correct! |
If it was so open and clear why can't people get Linux working on phones and tablets ?
It's not clear at all
In fact there are lots of problems It's so fragmented and with so much proprietary code, that not only can you not easily put Linux on the devices, but the manufacturers themselves can't patch their own devices The source code is not released, if it was it would be trivial to put it back on the device This has some pretty serious consequences If you read my links you on my last post you will actually see what someone thinks of running main line kernel And why is it so hard to put the gnu stuff back on, if it's so open Open source is being high jacked very much like Apple has done Apple makes the same claims that their stuff is open, yet nobody would believe that, it's the same with Google Making accusations that I don't like Google is nonsense, the goal is to get at the source of the problem, and see what the fix is If you look at the links I posted you get one opinion, this may be the correct opinion, or there may be better opinions out there One thing is clear, there is a problem Apple used a bad license which is more forgiving, Google is using a gpl license If this is allowed to happen or legal then anyone can take Linux change it and not give the changes back Where are the drivers to the specific devices so you can rebuild the OS The article I put up claims none of the devices run Linux, maybe not even android if you can't build the OS If people are having so many problems putting the gpl stuff back on android, clearly something is wrong and not that open |
Linux has the same problem on tablets that it had with desktops
If what happened with the desktops is anything to go by the tablet situation is far worse
