Meego is regarded as the Linux camp. Android is not the Linux camp.

Android is actually a freak: the kernel uses the Google-modified Linux kernel, and the application software runs on the Dalvik Java virtual machine.

Different from meego, meego does not perform such a big operation on the Linux kernel. meego is actually a project managed by the Linux Foundation, and the kernelCodeIt is mutually beneficial to the development of mainstream Linux code.
At the kernel level: the android code tree is removed from the Linux code tree. Therefore, the android kernel code will not be integrated into mainstream Linux kernel code, which is of little help to Linux development. Android only helps Android itself and Google.

At the application layer: Android applicationsProgramIt is a special Java program running on Google's self-designed Dalvik Java VM. These programs cannot run on any other Linux distributions. Different from meego, meego application software is developed based on QT. All mainstream Linux distributions support QT libraries and can run QT software. It can be easily applied to other Linux distributions (you do not need to modify it, or you only need to modify it a little ). Meego's application software development and other Linux releases are also mutually beneficial and win-win.

In short: Android is just a parasite that constantly absorbs nutrients from the Linux kernel, but it will not return anything (this reminds me of another OS using the BSD kernel ); meego and the entire Linux ecosystem are symbiotic, both absorbing and rewarding. Android and Linux are parasitic, while meego is symbiotic.

Therefore, if you love Linux, you should love meego more.
