The duopoly between Google and Apple needs a disruption. The problem is they control over 99% of the market. Any competitor into the space will likely lose money for several years before they can even make a dent in that market share. There aren't many people or companies that can do this. nostr:nprofile1qqsd0hut8c2pveuk4zkcws9sdap8465am9dh9cp8d2530yssuflcracpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z75nhtuk 👀

The answer is - and always has been - open source. Particularly, linux mobile.

It’s in its infancy, but that’s due to interest.

Work is underway to make existing apps responsive. There are new frameworks and even desktop environments being built from the ground up with this in mind.

The more this gets pushed, the more momentum that will build.

People cite linux desktop adoption being around 5%-6% as a sign that this won’t work. But the rules change on mobile. In fact, pushing mobile will end up boosting desktop adoption.

Windows, Apple, and Google are doing their part by making all of their software more Orwellian by the day. It’s time for us to push the change.

Any good linux mobile devices yet? I've seen Ubuntu Touch floated around but not sure on compatible HW 🤔

I love the idea of this project and remember checking themnout a year ago. But there's no way a $1000 (post tax) device is going to solve the issue. $600 max if we want any notable addoption rate and considering we have less than a year this needs to alreadg exist, not something still in development. The big sell for linux on desktop is you can run it on pretty much any old devise to cost barrier to entry is super low.

#Flx1 from FuriLabs is $550.

Yes (potentially) depending on your use case. Good enough for me to daily drive.

Also cool, but price is a non-starter at 2k

Islamic Audiobooks Central 4mo ago

Yes, freedom has a high price : ) usually paid in sweat, tears and blood!

I'm very welll aware. In this case though I'm not convinced this is a viable path to freedom. There's a lot of development that needs to catch up and spread fast in limited time. We don't have several years for these freedom tech companies to loose money while their tool adoption rates increase. Especially when most people don't even seem to want freedom.

For folks already familiar with #desktopLinux, I believe #postmarketOS on a #LibertyPhone would be usable.

If you want to go less mainline but have proprietary drivers, #Flx1 is another option.

Both can run #FOSS Android apps using #Waydroid.

If this can be achieved by tiny companies with meagre resources, I don't see why larger companies can't take it all the way to mainstream adoption.

In any case, #LinuxMobile is the only long-term strategy for freedom and privacy.

i still don't consider them a good competitor, unless they become as secure as android at least
