I've already switched my pc to Linux. I'm willing to switch my phone to Linux too. My only problem with current alternatives is that none of them feel like a finished product Software-wise. And hardware-wise I have a galaxy ultra so the downgrade would be a lot especially in the performance and cameras.

We need a Linux based/Open-source alternative that could compete with the likes of Apple, Google, and Samsung. It's not impossible especially with current available technology, but I can see why the market incentives are very low.

I was hoping new laws could at least keep the status quo for a bit longer but it turns out as always relying on politicians is a bad idea.
