Rachael Ava 💁🏻♀️I wonder how soon pure Linux on mobile will become normalized to the point where we can flash old iOS devices with decent hardware performance with Linux and make them usable again with up-to-date security fixes. That would be cool so that we can salvage old iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads that can't run the latest versions of Apple's OSes for those devices. Bonus points if we can flash old iPods to run Linux, too.
AL3X_M@RachaelAva1024 is there currently a widely adopted (in the Linux community) mobile Linux-based OS?
@AL3X_M There's Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile & a mobile variant of Manjaro, but these aren't very mature. Then again, Linux on phones aren't mature enough yet for widespread adoption.
mls@AL3X_M @RachaelAva1024 android is the most widely adopted OS in the world and runs on the linux kernel
If you mean open source OS: Calyx, Graphene and a few others are gaining in popularity (be warned, the Maintainer of graphene has been in some hot water over very suspicious activities)
