And what did you write this on, a Android device or a iOS/OSX device?
Unfortunately, yes it's Android Linux, since my Windows Phone device stopped working, I have been all but forced into using a linux device if I want to make phone calls. I've debated on going back to a "feature phone" to avoid it, but those are all Java based, so that's almost worse on its own. And since the easiest tablet to watch YouTube videos on is BSD iOS, I have one of them too. If the Surface was more suited to that purpose, I would switch immediately.
My primary daily computers are both Windows as a main OS. One of them multi-boots Windows 7 32-bit, DR-DOS 7, and ReactOS. On the other, it's Win10x64, but I usually jump straight into DOSBox-X or my Windows Me VM/emulator if I'm not doing anything important and modern.
Sir, you are a living meme.
Not sure what your point is, but both of them are not Linux, and more user friendly, comparable to windows.
One of them is not, its iOS/OSX. But its more or less the same, a software guy would call it a Unices. But Android is in every way, sense and form, a Linux.
iOS is a BSD, so it's a Unix. Android is just a Linux distro.
Technically its not BSD either. It uses parts of it, but it uses a different kernel. Its XNU.
Fair enough. Thank you for helping correct my ignorance here.
