It's been a bit sad to see that out of Linux distributions, it was Android - the most successful mobile Linux distribution - that has really introduced the malware problem to the Linux world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Android's user-space is so different from stock Linux, you can easily say that Android is not in any way a Linux system, except for the kernel.
Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel.
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
Linux evolved in a completely different way. From nearly the beginning, it was rather casually hacked on by huge numbers of volunteers coordinating only through the Internet.
Obviously, you will always see more malware targeting Android because Android is used more than any smartphone platform by a pretty substantial difference.
Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
Android was built to be very, very secure.
Android is one of the most open systems I've ever seen. What makes Android great is it's literally designed from the ground up to be customised in a very powerful way.
I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'
The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.
