Of course, most people stick with Android or iOS, and that is fine. > >Both platforms are mature, well-supported, and not going anywhere. But for the ones who want something genuinely open and free of platform lock-in, things are getting better.

We need the hardware groups to be built up. New Open Source OEM’s made.

That and new unionized IP Provider companies. Anything that goes back to the hands of the people is a good thing

Also this sounds amazing for Fedora to come to phones. Want to see Linux Mint, Pop OS Cosmic, and Bazzite to get same treatment eventually
