From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

and i cant even get Whatsapp to run because my phones bootloader is unlocked... life is unfair
why not? i use an unlocked phone and run it just fine
WhatsApp just says i dont have the official version, even tho i got the apk litterally from their own damn website
Apparently some apps ask Google Play if it's an official android OS.
Are you in Brazil?
no, i live in Germany
yeah you see, the issue is, i need Whatsapp for my family, friends and work. i'd rather not use WhatsApp but i aint got a choice (yet, afaik Whatsapp will be forced to work with other apps)
you see i am an apprentice so i don't have a work phone yet, but i need Whatsapp to communicate with my superiors and all
I use a phone with an unlocked bootloader too, but I only got a warning and pressed ok
