These Are the Best Alternatives to Google’s Android Operating System (Wired) - Feddit.it

Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it: - Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS - Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS - Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS - For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

Reading the problems here with the pure Linux platforms, why is there no initiative to get Linux mobile up to speed? The EU at least is looking for tech independence, funding should be possible.

The EU is looking for tech independence

Issues of whether or not the EU is actually looking for tech independence aside… I find it remarkable that open source software offers so much potential for breaking free from US-dominated tech giants like Microsoft and Google, for relative pennies, and no one seems to want to pursue it. I imagine a country like France or China could develop versions of Linux (for desktop, mobile, and other applications like spreadsheets or web browsers) that blow away what we currently have for a cost that would a rounding error of a rounding error in their current state budgets. Not sure why this hasn’t already happened, tbh.

Seems like they have been just sleeping on it.
