Even if we get a linux phone in 5 or 10 years, its features and app support will be so boring that it's just not a real alternative. Even today it's hard for open source apps to compete with proprietary apps. There's so much that we abstain from just because we insist on freedom

the system was made in a way where proprietary was the secure way to get more money.. so we we kind of need to stick to older tech until the next open implementation people can fully control is out or we get routers you can't even do basic settings a 2015 openwrt router just lets you change (read:screwed)... that's the price. price for freedom... idk not a scalie havent played that game
