I think about this a lot and if you can even consider Linux phones in their infancy. There are no modern Linux phones that fully work as a phone. Its the joke about this being the year of Linux over and over. Ubuntu touch was started in 2011 and since then it hasn’t changed or advanced in any meaningful way. Every other Linux phone distro is basically the same story. I would love to even be able to get a Jolla phone in the US, but that’s not an option. I occasionally see people say they are using Linux phones as a daily driver, and then find out they are using some obscure or ancient hard to get phone. Or better yet, it’s just a secondary phone. They are a curiosity at best which makes me sad.

They also continue to shove shitty AI into every corner of their devices with no way to easily remove or disable it. I’ve had a lot of Pixel devices and honestly they just keep getting worse. As I’ve moved away from Google products, I no longer have a strong reason to stick with them, other than Graphene OS, and soon I’ll have Motorola as a replacement option.
