PostmarketOS is a thing. A lot of the software is already available for Linux. People just keep pretending it doesn’t exist and keep spouting the same tired anti-Linux rhetoric ad nauseum.
Heck, I bet you could make a phone call from a bloody Pi Zero with a 4g & UPS HAT.
That’s a bit unfair. Postmarket is super cool and I can’t wait to get a Linux phone. But let’s not pretend it’s ready to be daily driven. Even on the best supported phones there are still hardware driver compatibility issues. And that’s not even speaking about the software catalog. Even in the privacy community, a lot of people regard banking apps as mandatory. Good luck ever getting those to run there.
