i hope it's linux based. then everyone would have to have a linux port of their apps.
Not only is it not Linux, but the operating system is closed source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS. According to the article it's built on top of "OpenHarmony," but that does little to assuage my disappointment.
I think they are going with their own micro kernel design. But they also use Linux on some versions.
isn't android linux based?
Yes, in that it uses the Linux Kernel. It's not typically considered a Linux distribution because most everything else in the OS is custom and Google-suffused. In particular Android lacks GNU libraries and tools.
yes. what i meant was something that uses the upstream kernel. android is a whole mess when it comes to kernels.
Yes, it’s Linux with G💩💩gle characteristics.
