The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

    I’ve just been looking into these other OS systems, I currently use Samsung devices and am torn between the US hardware and US software. Samsung isn’t American which is great, but im stuck on full data collecting android, whereas pixels are US phones but the data collection , the most valuable aspect financially is removed even though its built on android.

    I just need Samsung to develop an OS, or even better yet, the return of Blackberry.

    Do you think Linux phones are ready to swapped in mainstream yet? My next phone will be a Linux phone for sure but my current phone is too new to replace so I’m still 2 years or so away.

      Not until the VoLTE support is rolled out to more models and the GPS and RCS begin functioning on Ubuntu Touch. So I wouldn’t declare it ready yet.

      I would imagine the Linux phone scene would be much more developed by that point as the interest is really growing.
