Can someone please come out with a phone that’s an actual computer and help stop this nonsense?

Phones cost a lot of money at this point and I’m completely sick of them being some locked down, surveillance ridden pile of crap. A reasonably built one would be able to replace a laptop at this point if it weren’t for these artificial constraints imposed by these stupid fucking suits running things.

Steam should make a Linux phone. Smaller Steam Deck with a modem

  Pretty sure they meant a smartphone with a desktop OS installed on it (eg Linux phones), not just “phone that looks kinda like a laptop but still uses Android”

    That’s why I recommended this, their devices dual boot Android or Linux. One of their older devices quad boots by default
    
    This isn’t a fly by night operation, it’s got a loyal fanbase, and good hardware and software support. They’ve been manufacturing for a decade, before that this guys were doing PDAs.

Battery life is limited by cell modem drivers being closed source and having to be reverse engineered.

  I like the idea of a continuum capable module desktop like canonical and Microsoft promised years ago.

  As long as your phone model is supported by any custom mod. I have checked compatibility for almost all smartphones I owned, some 7 or 8 through the years.
  
  Not a single one of them was ever supported by a custom mod.

  Intentionally non-standard hardware does not get a real custom rom. It’s just a mod of Android which Google can render intentionally incompatible any time they want
