{{Main|Linux for mobile devices}}
One of the best known Linux bases operating system for mobile devices, such as [[smartphone]]s is the [[Android (operating system)]]. Android employs a modified Linux kernel and combines this with [[Bionic (software)|libbionic]] instead of the [[GNU C Library|glibc]], [[SurfaceFlinger]] as [[display server]], and some other replacements specifically written for this purpose.
Many mobile devices have a [[touchscreen]] as their sole [[human interface device]] (HID). The GUI and partly the [[middleware]] of the operating system has to be adapted as to enable software designers to create an according human-computer interface.
