    Wish Linux Devs help build and polish OS for Pinephone. I really want Linux to go mainstream. Tired of android and Apple.

        This! I used Ubuntu Touch as my daily driver for 1 1/2 years. The OS itself was anything but perfect but the real problem was definetly the app ecosystem. WayDroid(an android “emulator”) optimization is probably the way to go for linux on mobile

          Yeah there’s no way a viable Linux phone could be made without the ability to run Android apps.

          I think we’re probably at least a few years away from being able to daily drive Linux on modern phones with functioning things like NFC payments and a decent native app collection. It’s definitely coming but it has far less momentum than even the Linux desktop does.

            That’s the case with almost all FOSS projects at the beginning

        Waydroid could fix that gap tho, the same way Wine/Proton does on the desktop

            Waydroid already works really well, it’s just small things like notification support that are missing
