      Yeah Lets hope linux phones pick up speed because of this. Having a fully free and open os for mobile would be great but I fear it is still a few years away.

        It’s rapidly getting better.

        What we need are phones with hardware that has full mainline kernel support. That way distros would just have to ship a dwvice tree file if that is not upstream yet, not a completely custom kernel with hundreds of patches that becomes trash shortly after buying due to lack of updates.

      It definitely has gotten worse with every update for awhile. They keep taking things that made Android great away.

      We need an alternative. Linux to the rescue I dare say.
