Wow this is indeed a completely new OS - kernel, user space and all. I thought they’d use Linux and Qt but no.

steam proton route lol

i guess hardware is good enough where emulation layer is not longer seen a hindrance.

it is easier to just write one layer then re write 20 years of software.

Apps typically don’t interact with the kernel. They interact with a C library like glibc, bionic or musl. So long as the kernel has a POSIX interface you should be able to compile the same app on different kernels. We do this with apps that run on Linux, BSD and QNX for example.

As for Android apps, you could extend that to running the Android runtime on top of different kernels. We did that with the Android runtime on QNX for BlackBerry 10 and we did it in a way that didn’t even require recompilation. That said Wiki says they don’t support Android apps. So if you meant Android apps they simply don’t.
