I hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.
Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it’s going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.










More interest is a very far cry from “linux phones are booming”. Linux phones are not booming, they are niche projects for people that like to tinker and don’t need any of the most popular phone apps and features.
Until we can install linux on more than a couple phones, trust cellular connections across all the networks and have access to the majority of features and apps that a smart phone should possess, linux phones will never “boom”.
I say this as a Ubuntu touch user on the Fairphone 4. It is not an experience that anyone else I know would accept from their smartphone.
