Ask HN: 2023 Year of Linux on Phones?

8 pointsby ngc6677about 2 years ago
Now that we&#x27;re done with the year of linux on servers, desktop and laptops, is it (should be) about time it really comes to our phones?<p>Postmarketos, pine64 are great examples of projects driving the community (and tech) forward.<p>What do you think?<p>In my opinion it feels it needs some money to be poured in, maybe a &quot;big player&quot; coming in with a &quot;phone we can fix&quot;, and hack.

I discovered postmarketOS relatively recently and now I want this so much. I already can&#x27;t live without Termux on my phone. When I buy a new phone I&#x27;ll try to port it to my current one. These mobile SoC manufacturers are probably nvidia tier though.

There are already the PinePhone and Librem phones for hackers.

I just put Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5 and it works great. Saved a phone I was about to discard.
