Android vs Linux

Top Differences Between Android and Linux

considered by many people as applications such as Android OS for mobile phones while Linux OS is for server and desktop. With precise wording on Android vs Linux, Linux kernel stands out as the most popular OS while Android-based framework is the most advanced Linux kernel top.

So Linux kernel is also running on all android devices but Android is not available on all Linux devices. Therefore, the base on which Android development takes place is called the Linux kernel. Also, there are several Android devices that work on it and cell phones as cameras, TV, Cars, clocks, etc.

Linux

Firstly, Linux was built by Linus Torvalds a Finnish student who has a vehicle to provide Opensource OS on the market. Linux was actually a version based on Unix. Generally compared to Commercial UNIX programs but more reliable than desktop-focused programs that are well designed for power users and programmers.

Linux developers consider the communication service as a prerequisite, also office applications are the top priority. Linux also provides trading services and website support for organizations such as Amazon, the German army, the US Post Office, etc.

Android

Android Inc. was founded by Nick Sears, Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, and Chris White in California, USA. The Android project has been described as a “great project to develop the most intelligent mobile devices that know their owner’s location and preferences”.

The open-source Android OS was first developed for the purpose of building an advanced digital camera OS until they discovered that the digital camera market was not big enough and reorganized their focus to building an OS for competing handsets with Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian.

Google Inc. bought the company in 2005 and as we now know, some history.

Under the hood, Android uses a customized Linux kernel that gives developers tons of pre-built and well-maintained features. This, in turn, saves time and allows Android developers to focus on the most important features of mobile devices.

This OS is used by 2.5 billion users in the world. Also, this is a lightweight OS and runs smoothly on almost all devices. This OS has the largest number of drivers preinstalled so connecting new gadgets is very easy. Common features of Android OS,

Android is an open-source OS for Smartphone software development
the hardware reference is best suited for mobile devices
Linux 2.6 is used to enable the system
Here application and UI framework involved
Here the app layer works as a top layer that holds its set of libraries running. All these libraries are built using C / C ++ languages.

Linux	Android
Linus Torvalds was the developer of this operating system.	Google LLC jointly made the whole android os.
This is fairly old software first launched in 1991.	This was coined in 2008.
Linux is mainly or its primary user device is PC devices.	This one is for mobile devices.
It uses its own Kernel it is Monolithic.	This one uses a Linux kernel.
Linux was written in the C assembly language.	Android is written in C, Java, Kotlin, C++, etc.
Linux can handle complex tasks and are the best suite for multitasking.	Android is there for simple tasks and handles low-demanding tasks.
