I don't get the hate against Huawei. Not that I've seen much of it. Google are not the good guys overall, neither is Huawei. The two companies do good things and bad.<p>I've recently watched a talk by Jonathan Corbet on Linux Kernel Report [0]. At one point he asked the audience "Who's running Linux on their phone?". Lots of people raised their hand. He then said "Well, are you? Because a lot of companies have as much as 2+ millions of lines of custom kernel code on their devices. Huawei in particular has 2.7+ millions. If the kernel currently is at about 24 million lines of code, and you only need a small subset of that for a phone, then what you end up with is something different than Linux." It happens at approximately 30:40 in the video. I have a suspicion that HarmonyOS is just what they have now plus another 200k+ lines of code or so to change the look.<p>[0]: <a href="https://youtu.be/yt29BKVfI0I" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/yt29BKVfI0I</a>
Lol they want contribution from open source community developers? Well their own crap Android phones are coming with locked bootloaders. They try to become American style community based company keeping their shit closed source and want contribution on other side. Huawei should be doomed. Crap Chinese companies!
