I think an Android hard fork is more likely.
But even that would only happen with the right companies, groups, and/or countries funding the project.

A hard fork requires more financial resources.
Even if GraphenOS, e/os, and lineageos were to work together, the project would probably fail.
You need at least a few full-time positions for maintenance and further development. In the early stages, you would need even more, as you would probably want to incorporate greater modularity and ease of maintenance, especially for drivers and hardware-specific settings.

@micr0 If only phones weren't so closed off that mobile Linux doesn't work on most devices...
Driftini@micr0 considering how desktop linux has had over two decades to mature and is still not good enough to be a painless drop-in replacement for windows/macos, I'm afraid mobile linux is gonna take another decade or more before it gets anywhere realistically usable
doesn't help that over in the mobile landscape things seem way more locked down, with some apps refusing to work on rooted devices, device integrity apis (or whatever the name was)...
pessimistic take but I think that's how things will prob go, then again I haven't really used nor delved deep at all into how the mobile linux scene is going lately so I frankly don't really know what I'm talking about, just going off of big assumptions here

@micr0 i can buy a laptop/desktop computer with linux preinstalled right now, even if the vendors aren't necessarily well-known. can i do the same with a phone
rpgwaiter@rpgwaiter @micr0 i see
Approxamatrix@rpgwaiter @esm @micr0 if Ubuntu Touch also counts then you could also count the vollaphone too. Tho I'm not sure if you can easily get one from America...
