[Linux](/wiki/linux.md) kernel.
It is designed primarily for mobile devices with touch screens like tablets or smart phones.
## Managing the Data
The data and files stored on Android
[smart devices](/wiki/smart_devices.md#smartphones-and-tablet-computers) are sometimes needed on
computers.
For [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) this can easily be achieved by connecting it via USB.
No further software is needed as the device manager handles the phone correctly most of the times.
For [Linux-based systems](/wiki/linux.md) the
[device](/wiki/smart_devices.md#smartphones-and-tablet-computers) also has to be connected to the
computer.
But in this case also a software is needed to [mount it](/wiki/linux/disk-management.md#mounting),
this software/program is called [android-file-transfer](/wiki/linux/android-file-transfer.md).
For further information and a guide on how to mount a Android device correctly navigate to the
[corresponding section](/wiki/linux/android-file-transfer.md#mounting-and-unmounting-android-device).
## App Store
The most used app store of android is the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/).
