We need Linux OSes and phones to catch up to really break free from this duopoly. Only when there is enough traction, essential infrastructure like banks will start supporting Oses like that. It's a chicken and egg kind of problem.

Android is a Linux OS and is eons ahead anything that would sit on top of "GNU/Linux" userspace.

Why start from scratch?

While I respect the Linux on Mobile work, I believe that AOSP is a lot better, with a much better security model.

Remember that GrapheneOS is not Android: it's an AOSP-based OS.

what happened to Sailfish? the successor of meego et-al

It is finnish, anyone knows how are they going?

i used that for 2 years, it's linux+kde bottom to top, a terminal + shell is a builtin, though only supporting 5+ years old Sony phones got tiresome.

Still.. it seems the only one that's usable enough apart of the duopoly. May have to switch to it again.
