In its early days, the Android project experienced a high-profile
disconnect with the kernel community. That situation has since improved
considerably, but there are still
differences between Android kernels and the mainline. As a result, it is
not possible to run Android on a vanilla kernel. That situation continues
to improve, though; much evidence to that effect was on display during the
Android microconference at the 2020 Linux Plumbers Conference.
Several sessions there showed the progress that is being made toward
unifying the Android and mainline kernels — and the places where there is
still some work to be done.
