Unfortunately, I don’t think most people are too interested even now. The masses that buy phones and make it profitable aren’t aware of things like this or even give a shit. Any time I bring something up with friends and family it gets shrugged off. Realistically Linux phones are going to be fringe unless they can offer something up to the masses that is attractive to them.

They were interesting 15 years ago, too.
Still think the Nokia N900 was the best phone of all time.
