Honestly, I agree with @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net
Ok fair enough, but I wouldn’t have installed Linux if I had not seen it recommended.
I’m not a computer toucher, but I can follow written advice.
These sorts of posts always scold anyone giving out actual solutions just so being miserable can continue. This cultural thing almost has an end of history type vibe to it. It’s also pretty hostile to divergent and often solution focused neurotypes.
Linux evangelism kinda makes sense, no one is spending billions on marketing and ads for it. I think Linux evangelists should ask about use cases first, instead of just posting a generic “use Linux”.
There is phone Linux, but it’s still considered experimental compared to Android or iOS. Purism makes a phone and it runs their Ubuntu fork. There’s also (used to be?) a Pine phone.
So yeah, nothing people would ever want to use.
It’s also (like windows phone before it) useless without apps. Regular people need their banking app, they need their drs app, they need the carpark app and their ticktok/snapchat etc. Those apps just don’t exist outside of the android iOS duopoly.
It’s also useless when it can’t even do basic phone functions like stable and reliable calls, reasonable battery life, and all components on the phone supported and working. So many people want apps on Linux mobile, but we don’t even have the foundation fully built.
