Linux phones are useless for common people until they can run government and bank apps.

Linux is ready, what is not ready is the ecosystem.

Exactly. The kernel more or less doesn't matter, it's "the stuff on top."

Unfortunately tech people don't understand this.

Common people don't care about the OS, they care about apps.

I smell a "no true Scottman" here. Because people always say "common people do what I say" and when someone says "hey, I am common people and I disagree", the same people usually answer "well, then you're not common _enough_". Which is a huge fallacy.

> Common people don't care about the OS, they care about apps.

My statement is based on 25 year as an IT professional where I migrated people and businesses from Windows to Linux, from iOS to Android, from old Unixes to Windows/Linux and the list goes on.

Just give to people the apps they need or want and the rest is easily managed.
