I’m really excited with all this ARM compatibility stuff. Hopefully we will be able to install steam OS on Android devices at some point.
Is this how we get Linux phones?
Android is already a Linux-based OS.
That would be such a turn of events!
No the drivers arnt available, fuck Qualcomm and ARM.
Maybe RISC in time?
I think Qualcomm drivers are the least of our problems. Getting all the other drivers for 5G, GPS, gyro, accelerometer, compass, WiFi etc is going to be an issue since they're all vendor loaded blobs now.
Actually, often the are available, but of such low code quality and depending on various out of tree changes in the Linux kernel that it is easier to rewrite them if you want to get them into mainline Linux.
And RISC-V has more or less the same problem.
