Unfortunately, I don’t think most people are too interested even now. The masses that buy phones and make it profitable aren’t aware of things like this or even give a shit. Any time I bring something up with friends and family it gets shrugged off. Realistically Linux phones are going to be fringe unless they can offer something up to the masses that is attractive to them.
Linux phones are about to get interesting.
I’ve heard that 15 years ago
Same with what we were hearing about the Linux desktop!
…yet here we are in 2026 and literally all my desktops have since become Linux, lol.
15 years ago the world wasn’t looking for a maliciously compliant escape route.

Hope I’m wrong.
They were interesting 15 years ago, too.
Still think the Nokia N900 was the best phone of all time.
