I wrote an in-depth article about whether Linux phones will become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly, which I though might interest people on this forum:
There are links to download the article as a PDF or ODT file if you prefer to read it that way (which looks much better than WordPress styling in my opinion).
I’m pretty critical of all the Linux mobile device makers in the article, but I also see a lot of hope for the future.
Feedback is welcome.
Hello @amosbatto !
I read thoughtfully your article and I’m really happy because I learnt a lot of new information about hardware/processors, Linux mobile distributions and stories of Linux phone-making companies.
Analysing in depth the reasons why past projects failed is really interesting.
I remember well when Librem5 and PinePhone came to life with a huge hype from the Linux enthusiasts, but after some months I didn’t hear of both projects anymore; now I know why!
Thank you
