Android Q's ANGLE Offering OpenGL ES On Top Of Vulkan 1.1

Treble is supposed to help there.

Treble doesn't cover the kernel, where a lot of the update issues still occur.

Be pretty cool if ANGLE could support full OpenGL. We could start dropping OpenGL drivers.

I'm pretty sure most phones don't support full OpenGL anyway.

That sounds neat. Sucks that I won't use it anytime soon.

Now if only they could figure out a way to push system updates to everyone so we don't have to depend on manufacturers and carriers. Android isn't so free and open when you factor in having to buy OS updates every two years due to firmware blobs not being updated and/or the OS not having an if/then compat layer regarding drivers and blobs.

That's called Fuschia.

It has a stable device driver interface.
