I am eyeing the Jolla phone with interest. Looking for a phone with a Linux distro that is entirely free, and has no proprietary code.
Maybe the world goes to Linux in your Pocket, and largely bypasses the world of mobile apps, as native Linux apps are now first class apps on your phone.
One docking station with all peripherals, and one Linux phone/tablet.

@purrperl@noc.social If you get that rolled out, could you update about if the phone OS can drive a standard 1900x1280 screen ~ I think phone video RAM might not scale to that...

@purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org Jolla does have some proprietary code, namely parts of the UI, their Android VM solution and some MS Exchange addon. Lately they've been open sourcing more and more parts, so the UI might be fully open source one day.

@purrperl@noc.social @channelOwen@fosstodon.org @chrastecky@phpc.social last time I used Sailfish it was just a custom GNU distro, so Linux, gcc, bluez... Going by memory
