  Android is so big because the community let them embrace it. Since the beginning the community should have worked in a true open solution. Now it’s really late to try to make a Linux phone

    Luddite. I’ve let AI manage my finances and mortgage for about a month now. Hold on, there’s a knock at the door, some dudes with a big van or something

    Linux would suck on a phone. Sorry it is barely usable on a laptop. We get worse battery life hardware less supported. Sure we put up with it but most people just want stuff to work.

      This is because the community did not spent too much time optimizing for this goal. This is what I am saying, the open source community should invest more on Linux phone.

    It doesn’t need to be Linux though - AOSP is still open source. Companies like graphebe using it just needed to not depend on Google to provide them the hardware and software to keep their OS viable. It’s entirely on them.

      Google start with open source so they can use open source tools and get a lot of work for free.

      But they use the famous Elbrace, E tende and Extinguish. See the things they are doing with the web with Chrome.
