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.

SailfishOS is quite polished, and there's an Android emulation API. Lots of common applications, including many banking ones, run without a problem.

It's a chicken-egg issue. The last 10% of polish won't be done till a critical mass of users adopt the platform, and vice versa.

Remote Attestation and the Play Integrity API will soon make that stop.

Some tech people don't care what common people want, they just want a cool phone for themselves.

Power management and cameras are working and stable on (non-Android) Linux phones? Which ones?

>>akagus+T
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.

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.

Librem 5 is my daily driver. The camera is not amazing, but it works fine. The battery can last one day just fine with a non-heavy use. And you can replace the battery on the go.
