UX is polished enough to not be painful

This one requirement I believe to be already met. Mobile kde, for one, is pretty nice. I believe the bottleneck of linux phones are really in the hardware

I found myself using my phone less and less too, and to be honest, I’m even feeling healthier mentally. Portable devices were supposed to improve our life, not make it worse. Big tech did something really terrible to phones :(

Fun fact; Here in Brazil, the cheaper tv models being sold are 720p, and a lot of people buy them and don’t even know what video resolution is, neither they feel like missing something lol

My advice is to always go in short steps, proving the ground and getting to know the alternatives. I’d recommend installing f-droid and having fun testing all the free apps you can, removing google stuff one by one, then, after feeling comfortable, trying a custom rom, and when you eventually need a new phone, looking for a model more friendly to degoogling.

And not only an easy thing to do, but something that bothers the big tech a lot! If it didn’t bother, they wouldn’t care to invest so much in making it harder for us, and if it bothers them, it means we’re on the right track.

Linux market share is increasing even in the charts with all OSes, desktop and mobile.

So, if we consider a classroom, it’s roughly 1 or 2 students using linux in each class. I don’t think it’s too far off from real life experience.

Let the long awaited convergence be finally true!

I’d prefer that firefox os had caught on and turned into a big player today

Don’t threaten, just do it!

I don’t get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.
