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.

I doubt many modern head units exist that don't rely on the Linux kernel
Honda factory head units run just straight up android. On my friends 2017 civic he could poke a few buttons and get to the normal android ui.
Android depends on the Linux kernel
I’m well aware.
it depends
Why, did you get it working on the BSD kernel?
no, it was a word play
I’m pretty sure a good portion of them actually run QNX which is a UNIX-like owned by blackberry
Oof you're right completely forgot.
That can be true with the car OS. But he is talking about the "infotainment" tablet OS.
Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought qnx was also running the default infotainment systems too
It can be. But I think it's easier to use a limited version of Android. QNX after all is a RTOS.
That does make sense tbh
I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf that runs WindowsCE, I gotta try that next lol
Hah! We have the exact same car garage!
I have an older fancy aftermarket unit that runs Windows CE. I wonder if I could trick it into using something else...
