The Emacs editor is not tied to the Linux kernel; indeed, it was created some years before Linux existed. The Emacs code base is intended to be portable, and the editor runs, with varying levels of support, on a wide variety of systems. Recently, an energetic developer has worked to extend the set of supported systems to Android; the result is a working port, but whether that port will be accepted into the Emacs mainline is the topic of ongoing conversation.
On the last day of 2022, Po Lu announced that a preliminary Emacs port had been pushed to a feature branch in the Emacs Git repository.
