Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.

      They tried that already. We raised more money than any other project but it wasn’t enough

      It was moved out the official company and now is maintained by a few hard working people. I would personally not recommend Ubuntu Touch as it simply is getting behind.

      Postmarket OS does fascinate me though

      Give it a decade, I reckon. As traditional SMS and phone calling die to platforms like WhatsApp/Telegram/etc., and those platforms become available cross-platform, the idea of a Linux phone might become possible. It’s just a matter of decentralizing the distribution of that software, at that point (like how GrapheneOS and others current have the problem of needing the Google store for installing proprietary apps).
