I guess it's time to buy a linux phone
Support for this will grow, I hope. Linux on PC has been really easy for the past 10 or so years, but phones often have locked bootloaders. There's not that much support for different models either, feels like a work in progress. I hope someone just starts up a volunteer organisation that can provide pre-installed free software. Not just one centralised company, but multiple outlets.
I wish a Linux tablet will be ready by the time the custom ROMs will be killed off.
Best I've been able to do is a Lenovo Yoga. Ubuntu runs great and touch works well enough. But yeah.. not really the same.
Thanks for putting that option on my radar.
