I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.
For targeted devices so is Gentoo. Their edge is having access to proprietary drivers.
But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.
If it’s written in portable C you can use the Android NDK/SDK to cross-compile it for the 4 archs they support. I do it at work.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
