That's great and all but the current linux phone offerings are... not suitable for general public use. The iPad generation will simply not be able to use them in their current state.

Historically the most technically inclined are always the first to a “new” technology. I don’t see why this round should be any different a the ipad generation will come when it’s their time.

We were so close to a phone usable by non-enthusiasts with the Nokia N1. The Nokia Linux phones were killed when Nokia hired a former VP at Microsoft to be their CEO. I'm still bitter.

Jolla, ex nokia employees, just sent out their first batch of the Jolla phone. It uses sailfishOS, a Linux based operating system capable of running android apps.

I'm in the wait list for my own.

I'm in Canada. I got myself a Sony Xperia and bought a Sailfish licence for it so I could get the Waydroid integration and predictive text keyboard. Works pretty well. So if you are interested in the OS rather than the hardware, that could be a route to go.

Technically, the licence is not for sale in Canada (or US), but meh, it did work at the time. Probably still does.

Anyway, I quite enjoy Sailfish. Been using it for about 4 years now or thereabouts. There's a fair number of native apps, especially with Chum and Storeman. With Waydroid, many Android apps work too, though definitely not all.

@DosDude @NotEasyBeingGreen The fun thing about this whole saga is that there's linux phone stack stuff that's been completely neglected for the past ~15 years that we're now having to bring back to functionality because of projects taking up pieces of maemo/meego.
