Any idea what the obstacles are? Surely it should boot. X doesn't support video or input hardware? Or...?
So Android has its own wacky kernel APIs for video devices? Is there at least working /dev/fb0?

It has /dev/graphics/fb0 and it's probably different. Until dri3 desktop Linux APIs didn't support isolation.

They did do a lot of NIH but they also NEEDED some stuff and the NIH goes both ways: https://lwn.net/Articles/697191/ ….

I would hardly call bus1 an example of "both ways" when it doesn't come from kernel folks but the kdbus lobby.
-
Sure but fd.o stuff is where most duplication happens in both directions. A fair bit has touched the kernel.
-
The long time to adopt stuff like Wayland is starting to seem a bit silly when Android has it all since 2008.
-
Android could have used pulseaudio since already existed then but it didn't do that for obvious reasons :P.
-
Well yes, fd.o and "desktop linux" stuff is awful. I just want http://X.org to work.
