>"Okay, this Linux on Phones thing ... but it has no apps, right?"
The Play Store has millions of apps for Linux on phones. People who think this more likely don't realize that Android uses the Linux kernel than those who are unaware that Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch have dedicated app stores.
Do you really think people at the FOSDEM don't know this? And saying that android use the linux kernel is honestly close to saying that mac os use Unix... Plus the userland and systems api are fully google proprietary, you couldn't just make a android app work "on linux".
Yes, as such a comment wouldn't make sense if they did as Android is the consumer operating system with the highest market share.

It's no different than saying that Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel.
>Plus the userland and systems api are fully google proprietary
No, you can find open source code for userland and system apis at https://cs.android.com/
>you couldn't just make a android app work "on linux".
They already do as Linux is the kernel for Android.
