All this effort going towards “saving” green fascism when we should be pouring these efforts into Linux
There’s diminishing returns, and we have lives outside our phones. Well, most of us. We can put a limited amount of time and energy into this, but pushing Linux requires a great deal of effort and time.
Not saying we shouldn’t also do that, but in the mean time fighting to keep the options we do have less shitty shouldn’t be completely abandoned.
You’re right. The green fascists will probably change their minds and just be cool about this.
You’re right, we should just roll over instead of fighting for a better future.
My original comment’s point was we should push as hard as we can into Linux and abandon green fascism all together

That’s great and all but the current linux phone offerings are… not suitable for general public use. The iPad generation will simply not be able to use them in their current state.

We were so close to a phone usable by non-enthusiasts with the Nokia N1. The Nokia Linux phones were killed when Nokia hired a former VP it Microsoft to be their CEO. I’m still bitter.

Jolla, ex nokia employees, just sent out their first batch of the Jolla phone. It uses sailfishOS, a Linux based operating system capable of running android apps.
I’m in the wait list for my own.

Unfortunately not available for in the US :(
I want one so badly
@DosDude @NotEasyBeingGreen The fun thing about this whole saga is that there's linux phone stack stuff that's been completely neglected for the past ~15 years that we're now having to bring back to functionality because of projects taking up pieces of maemo/meego.

Historically the most technically inclined are always the first to a “new” technology. I don’t see why this round should be any different a the ipad generation will come when it’s their time.
