I'm kind of at a loss on how to make the jump to Linux Phones right now because there are some Android Apps that are absolutely vital at the moment and I don't think they can run reliably on any Linux distros?
I might end up setting up an emulation environment on one and seeing how it goes...
You could always use Waydroid as an emulator for whatever Android apps you can't do without
The apps are just the second layer. The first layer is hardware compatibility. Even the best supported phones have spotty gps, mic and cam usability
FR FR, I think most Linux distros such as Ubuntu Touch are just running a stripped down Android software called "Halium" as a layer between the phone drivers and the OS.
Which of course leads to questions about maintainability now that the AOSP doesn't provide device trees.
Which apps? SailfishOS can run Android apps decently well. I'm guessing some will have issues though.
idk, comparing the Linux phone usage to war might not be the best idea
