I've been using Linux on desktop for years and love how flexible and open it is. I use maybe 1% of its capabilities and it's amazing. I'd love to be able to have a working, stable and open mobile system. I don't want to be locked in into Google because i don't trust them (or anybody else) enough. Android is great but i miss linux-like feeling of possibilities. But it can be due to my lack of technical skills. Maybe if i rooted the phone it'd be good enough now? Anyway, i hope they succeed.

It's made me much more content on android, although it'll only be truly comfortable if you plug in a keyboard or your phone has a physical keyboard. https://termux.com/ https://termux.com/ https://github.com/termux https://github.com/termux
