The problem with mass producing pre-installed linux phones is that you need a lot of capital to mass-produce and any investor that can offer that amount of capital will require you to harvest and sell user data in order to make maximum profit.
There are small companies that offer pre installed linux phones (Murena is an example, though I don’t know too much about them) but they will never become mass adopted in a market economy.
that s the problem. There are already some one like Volla, Jolla but we are at the beginning
What I’m saying is if they ever get big enough to become mass produced they have already started to harvest and sell your data.
probably true
