Samsung is stepping up its plans to move beyond Apple's iOS system, a South Korean company that has announced it has joined the Linux Alliance and enjoyed the alliance's highest-level platinum membership, giving Samsung a place on the Linux Alliance board. Linux is the foundation for Google's Android operating system, but the Linux alliance has been creating another mobile operating system called Tizen, and no one has given Tizen too much attention, and it seems that people around the world are happy with iOS and Android, even if Windows Phone can not break the situation.



Samsung is a powerful supporter of Tizen, an attempt to shake it, and Samsung wants more control so that Tizen can actually replace Android and, more importantly, replace Apple's iOS, as the media reported, and Android seems to have lost its platform battle with Apple, And Samsung is not content to be indifferent to let such a thing happen, Samsung has its own backup plan.



The Linux alliance has dug more than 8,000 companies and more than 8,000 developers, many of whom are crazy about Linux and open source, a huge base for developers to help create another mobile operating system and its corresponding applications. Members are required to donate $500,000 a year to the Linux Alliance to become Platinum members, and currently only 6 companies in Samsung are platinum members of the Linux Alliance, the 6 companies are IBM, Oracle, Intel, Fujitsu, NEC and Qualcomm Innovation Centers (QUALCOMM) Innovation Center), even Red Hat, the world's largest Linux developer, does not have a seat on the Alliance board.
