RyanWhat are the real blockers to Linux/Alt Android phone adoption? I'm asking out of a sense of curiosity, not of criticism. If you are someone doing the work, and have insight I'd love to hear it!
It seems the existential challenges are:
1. access to hardware and the rate at which hardware changes
2. Access challenges exist on the telecomm side
3. The Android rug-pull by Google
Current state seems to be:
- Motorola and GrapheneOS are partnering which is exciting but Graphene still has some existential risks on the back of Android
- PostmarketOS seems like a great org but a fair way off from non-technical user adoption / a single fully functioning phone
- Ubuntu Mobile only works on a handful of devices (though the Volla phone is interesting)
- Pine phone struggles in specs
