Yeah Lets hope linux phones pick up speed because of this. Having a fully free and open os for mobile would be great but I fear it is still a few years away.
What we need are phones with hardware that has full mainline kernel support. That way distros would just have to ship a dwvice tree file if that is not upstream yet, not a completely custom kernel with hundreds of patches that becomes trash shortly after buying due to lack of updates.
I think a de-googled android would be good. Android at its core (Android Open Source Project) is actually a good project from a user-experience point of view. the app navigation and all that makes a whole lot of sense. We’d lose that if we switch to pure linux.
just google has to be entirely removed from the operating system.
Android is becoming garbage.
indeed , it’s becoming Apple.

It’s rapidly getting better.

It definitely has gotten worse with every update for awhile. They keep taking things that made Android great away.
We need an alternative. Linux to the rescue I dare say.
