    Honest question - why not fork android which already has all of the infrastructure needed for things like 5G handling, power management, and a widely supported ecosystem of components and vendors?

    I would try a Linux phone, absolutely, but why not just Android instead?

    The issue is current and future vendors for current and future Android phones are largely tainted and lockstep with Google.

    But wouldn’t developing off yesteryear Android still be leap years ahead of just reinventing the wheel around Linux? I kinda thought Android was Linux for our devices.

    I’m mostly saying this just because I’m jealous to bring all of my APK’s with me into that future.

    I don’t want to give up my reddit app and my current trio of browsers.
