pls fork android and bring android back to it's glory days.

No, make a Linux phone. With this compatability layer there's no more issues of not having enough apps, like what largely killed the Windows phone.

Yeah, running Linux in all my devices and ditching Android can’t come soon enough.

Even if the OS itself isn’t as optimal on this form factor as we would like, a plethora of touch-friendly apps will make it a more viable option such that there will be enough interest to develop it further.

Same with HTPCs. Maybe the being able to run the Android Netflix and Hulu apps on Linux will help expedite Plasma Bigscreen.

It's a bit rude demanding things this way, try: sudo Katy make Linux phone pacman

I'm seriously considering getting a Legion Go and using it as a Linux Tablet. Sure it's bulky and definitely won't have the power efficiency to be a useful phone, but I can love with tethering to a phone for connectivity for now.
