Sorry, that was just me futzing around. New to the forum.
Just mentioning that I have made Sailfish OS build for FP3 which had only some small issues but I haven’t made it public yet because I wanted to fix the issues but then too many other projects caused some lack of time to finish it.
Yes, it was intentional, but I got the link wrong, there were a couple of posts in that topic about the status for the FP3 and this would have been the correct link
But then, now we have an update here
Note that the FP4 is also available with /e/OS and there are some people who want to develop a LOS port for it

Thanks for that. I am not a big fan of UbuTouch. I can’t really explain why. Something with web apps not being real apps? I had the original Ubuntu Touch phone, but it has been quite a while…
Thank you for your major contribution in this area, mal. I see in the forum that you are very active with trying to get Sailfish OS on the Fairphone and working properly.
My concern is that more and more apps, like parking, banking, small money transaction apps, corona passports, etc. appear to require Google services, which locks us into surveillance capitalism with no obvious way to avoid it. As soon as any of those apps are installed, even using /e/, we are kicked back to basically a bog standard Android OS…
There are always ways like I don’t use
parking, banking, small money transaction apps, corona passports,
Not everyone’s’ or even many people’s cup of tea or coffee, but that the consumer choice.

Like that will make any difference I think the direction you point out to /e/ etc. is probably the best most can hope for unless they want to engineer their own software and even then they may miss out on lots of apps etc.

Apologies for encouraging off topic issues
It’s a perspective. Laws are not changed by people they are created by people and modified for the best business model…
Laws are not moral or designed for the individuals’ comforts unless that comfort can be sold.
The more laws the more amendments, which are more laws that necessitates more surveillance.
Change yes but
Slavery was abolished in the UK as there was better profit to be made hunting down the slave traders of France and Spain, only possible once the UK had dominion over the North Atlantic ocean.
So Hi @anon93683458 but I’d best not answer your response so please don’t make it too challenging or provocative
All the best

Android is a Linux OS, maybe you mean de-Googled, but I can’t see any of the other Linux OS’s becoming mainstream. I was rooting for Ubuntu Touch, but alas, it’s peripheral.

What do you determine is a ‘Linux phone’
(post deleted by author)
Thanks for your response. I suppose I just see them all as Linux and none other than Android are likely to be mainstream for a very long time.
This is a list of Linux distros directly targeted towards use with mobile phones, being offered preconfigured with the mobile-oriented software listed below. There are both phone producers who develop their own operating systems and independent developments by community projects. Outside of these, several traditional distros have versions compiled for ARM architecture, which could be configured to use these components. This is done, for example, with Manjaro by the PinePhone.
