To me it feels like it’s the other way around.
I wasn’t even aware that people tried to establish multi-language drivers until I read about the cancer comment some time ago.
It’s not the first time that longstanding maintainers dislike new stuff because it’s new.
A while ago I was thinking about doing something similar, but tearing down a working one seemed wastwful. I also couldn’t find a motherboard on its own (neither trough the repair program nor elswhere), so I shelved the idea.
That’s a bold move.
They’d better make sure the phone holds up and doesn’t break within half a year or something.
They both implemented ways to detect each others tags and warn their users.
Afaik that’s as far as it goes.
I had a motorola z3 play a few years ago.
Software quality was pretty good. Security updates were sometimes 3-4 months behind and would combine a few monts when they did get released. When I contacted them about it I was told that not all security patches google issues apply to them. I don’t have a way of verifying that.
With “normal” updates to different Android versions they where also slow, but I guess that’s normal with most Android vendors.
The biggest bummer with that phone was that they killed the module-feature halfway trough it’s livecycle in some regions. (You could snap modules to the back that would add additional stuff like a 360° Camera or a bigger Speaker)
There is an official lineageos build for the z3 play which still gets updated I believe. Even very recent motorola phones get lineageos pretty soon after release. (Not shure tho if that includes all or just the flagships)
Wayland break games
The Steam Deck uses wayland so I guess that’s not true (anymore?)
I hope this won’t turn into a cat and mouse game.
