[Q] Difference between Linux and Windows version? - Android Studio

Hey there,
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering why so many people use linux to build android apps. Shouldn't Android Studio be the same for both the operative systems? I've got a pretty decent computer, so I don't think I could see any speed difference. Currently I have both OS installed on my hard disk.

bad thinking
Its really bad thinking

What do you mean?

There is no big difference in developing android apps on Linux or win or mac . Linux is preferred because its free and android ROM and kernel development is easy on Linux compared to Mac and windows. Otherwise app development is same on all three OS .

There is way to install andriod without WM rom ?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is way to install just android without install Windows Mobile rom ?
I mean that the Android boot without using WM ...
At the moment no, I think we lack a bootloader to start booting the rom, also Android is not yet stable enough to use as a stand-alone OS for our phones, I'm certain it will all come together in time, much as the Familiar Linux Project did on the Ipaq series of PDA's.
Until then we have the best compromise, useable android, with the comfort of having WM still available for when we really need it.
Moved as not ROM Development....

What's your favourite linux distro

What's your favourite distribution of Linux? Not only on phone or portable device but also on desktop/server.
Then I will start:
1. Ubuntu 9.10
2. Damn Small Linux
3. iPodLinux ;P
4. openSUSE
and right now I'm downloading backtrack, I want to try it .
1. Ubuntu
2. Slackware

Jolicloud... we all love jolicloud...
- Ubuntu 10.10
- does Android count?
well i will say ubuntu but i didn't try any other linux distro yet (my desktop doesn't let me start the computer with linux so i can only install linux on my laptop )
Would have been Ubuntu... But now after seeing this I'm tempted by DSL and Jolicloud

Ubuntu, Android, ChromeOS, not necessarily in that order.
Ubuntu and Android. Those are the only 2 I've used.
Have to go with Ubuntu - It is almost brainless to install and maintain.
I used to use Fedora for a few years, but switched to Ubuntu for its more stable releases. I also am alpha testing Haiku at the moment. My little sister uses Jolicloud.
I just wish I could get the rest of the family to use Linux over Windows.
EDIT: I almost forgot that I'm running Rhobuntu on occasion when I need my Linux fix and am not near a PC.
Archlinux is best I've ever seem for personal use.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu live
Knoppix
Debian (server)

Only tried Ubuntu until now.
I don't think Android realy is a Linux distro, it's Linux based, but heavily modified, even Google said it's not Linux (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm a big Slackware guy. Been using it since the mid 90s.
Another Android & Ubuntu vote.
Seriously I want to vote for opensolaris but there are no upfront development on the desktop side, so I'd give fedora as my next best option.

I think its safe to say we will not see anything past Android 7 on this device. Developement support has never been great and a lot of people that tried their best at bringing new android updates or the ability to install Windows on the Android version didn't have much luck. Its a shame because I would love to still use this device in some fashion - even if I could boot a newer version of Android, Linux or Windows from a SD card.
