gollark: What?
gollark: Plus some custom code allowing the emulated PotatOSes to run commands on the host Linux system.
gollark: I do not have the development resources of Google either, but what I *can* do is blatantly copy Alpine Linux (with attribution etc in accordance with the license) and stick CraftOS and PotatOS in.
gollark: See, Android is just using the Linux kernel for annoying low-level stuff but then its own userspace.
gollark: No I wouldn't.
