True emulation is fun, but soon phones will all be locked down by google/apple, plus they're total spyware. I'd rather not have them.

Old pixels with graphene will only last so long, new future phones won't allow it.

Yeah, I'd love for Linux phones to be actually 100% usable, I'd be gone from android so fast....

I ordered my jolla phone. Let's hope that's a better future.
