minus-squareCorkyskog@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 hours agoKind of like a field of dreams thing… You need something viable for there to be demand.
minus-squarepigeonofparadise@lemmy.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 hours agoThere are options, but locking a person into an ecosystem is more profitable. Pinephone is a good option, but it won’t work in all countries. Ultimately, someone needs to gut android for anything salvageable, shove it into Linux, and provide a compatibility layer for android apps. But, mass support won’t be there. Like, TikTok won’t build an app for Linux. It needs mainstream apps to work.
