>desktop linux>3 partitions >android>32 partitionswhy does android have to be so fucking complicated
>>107798130In newer versions, some partitions are duplicated for seamless update support. For example my phone has a system_a/system_b & a vendor_a/vendor_b. It makes installing custom ROMs a little annoying but it's fine.Android is based on Linux for, well, the kernel but that's where shared components end. It's like how macOS uses FreeBSD userland components but nothing else.
