has there ever been an attempt to make a GNU/Linux-like system that runs on top of Android’s kernel, HAL and libc? I know about libhybris and hybrisOS, but I’m wondering if anyone tried directly porting stuff to bionic
aha, “Halium” is the keyword I was missing
@hikari android's kernel is already a pretty dang normal linux, and bionic isn't _that_ weird; I've run an entire C build environment on an android device (sshd, bash, binutils, gcc, make, etc) and the biggest issue was some oddity around fetching the user's home dir
meanwhile plex media server runs on it, and that's a slightly esoteric setup… but the ffmpeg executable is totally normal
@hikari like bionic is ultimately a fairly standard moderately-crappy libc, probably better than uclibc on average
