It doesn’t matter, you fork into something else entirely. It’s a hell of a lot easier to leverage the android ecosystems in a diverging fork than it is to build a whole new niche platform

Linux mobile will be harder to build but in the long run will be vastly better, but it’s admittedly a very long run.

This makes no sense. Anything you can build Linux into, you can do the same to android

That’s true, but android has some pretty fundamental issues that would take some massive rewrites to fully resolve, not to mention that if we switched to linux patches wouldn’t have to be written for multiple operating systems.

The second I hear about a Linux mobile operating system that has even decent screen reader support, I will be switching.
Magnification in Linux desktops in particular has not been that difficult, but screen readers are a whole different can of worms.
I figure Linux Mobile will be able to do magnification properly as they do it fine on desktop and they can just copy the gestures from Android if nothing else.
