@ironicbadger except that doesn't apply to the one device that billions of people now use as a "computer": their mobiles. While grateful for the gift of Linux, the revolution is still incomplete, the stars must align once more for a second miracle to happen. And when that transpires, the world will have changed, dramatically 🙏

@openrisk @ironicbadger There are alternative operating systems for mobile phones. Have you heard of e/OS or GrapheneOS? #eos #grapheneos #android #degoogle #google #unplugbigtech #unplugtrump

@openrisk I can run LineageOS and download #CoMaps from f-droid. But if I want to link it to my car screen, I have to use Android Auto and I have to have downloaded CoMaps from the Play Store. First world problem, but they do try really hard to lock you in to their shitty ecosystem. @ironicbadger

@openrisk @ironicbadger Do you know that Android is based on Linux right ? And do you know you can use other mobile systems ... Linux included right ?

@openrisk it seems like no-one has mentioned PostMarketOS in this thread yet. https://postmarketos.org/ Probably not really viable as main device for most people & phones, but i might not totally be up to date on that. @ironicbadger
