    Hu? They joy of s linux phone is, that Hardware is not locked to specific software, isn’t it?

    I mean if you can install a Linux distro, you can install any Linux distro, not?

    So we just need hardware that is strong enough as well as power efficient enough

    Maybe a good screen and big battery

      It’s one thing to have the hardware allow you to install anything. It’s an entirely different thing to get a set of software capable of managing a phone running on there. Phone hardware is super proprietary most of the time. Even if they release the drivers, someone still has to incorporate them and any hardware features into their OS.
