Nah, we will never have a GOOD Linux-phone. And if, it’s most likely NOT without tracking and whatnot.
Why should any company put money into a thing they can’t control after sale?
Sadly so, i might add.
Great. And the rest of the phone? And the adaption of the OS? The dev of all needed apps? And the marketing? And the legal stuff? And the tech-support? And the overall financing?
And how shall it be able to compete with being OSS as its only distinctive feature?
Is this your first talk with people? Ever read what they say before?
It wasn’t me who painted it simple. Quite the contrary. Hence why we still don’t have one and will never have one.
Rotary? Lol. Ubuntu? Lol.
Initially it was about not-phoning-home. Ubuntu does. And they also have to use propietary drivers a lot. Which maybe also do.
But with your approach to ad-hominem i retreat from this “discussion” anyway.

I’d love to have one but it won’t happen.
Basically the same approach
If it’s that simple, where is it? Where’s a prototype? A PoC at least?
Why do you call the approach simple? Have you done open source development? Maybe touch some grass.
