    I agree, and I’m very much for an open Android fork. I think it is a path of less resistance than trying to hammer Linux’s spherical bod into a square hole

    I have a Oneplus 6T. Linux phones feel like laptops, behave like laptops, and the apps? They’re the same, nothing is made with vertical orientations in mind, and almost nothing you need for a phone is available outside of scant outliers.

    Even with being a complete music pirate with complete, Jafar-levels of control over my collection, I had access to two abandoned subsonic apps, Clementine(vertical, riiiight) and Jellyfin.

    Jellyfin on a desktop loads every image every single time it loads, and it does the same on mobile Linux, because it’s the same app. On Android, it caches everything and sleeps itself.

    Multiply that by, every app you use.

    That’s our workload for Mobile Linux.

      We already have it. When you install an Android OS it doesn’t include google by default It requires additional work to get the gapps spyware
