      99% of the people won’t care and continue using it anyway. The other 1℅ isn’t nearly enough to keep any non AOSP OS alive.

        IDK, I’m pretty sure in capitalism the line is supposed to go BRRRRR. People leaving a platform or service isn’t good for their bottom line. The only way to teach these corps is to hit em in the wallet.

        If postmarket gets the drivers under control, we can be running relatively vanilla distros on them. There’s already a version of NixOS that leans on postmarkets work to run Nic right on a dozen different phones

        You just need a window manager that can handle touch, small form factor, and just a couple of gigs of RAM. And there are already projects doing that.

            I feel ya friend.

            Those guys are getting really decent funding, then Gnome and Plasma-mobile are already serviceable. It’s really just a matter of reverse engieering the cellular radio/voice/volte and the true hard part of the networks not pulling the rug on that work.
