In terms of hardware I feel there needs to be a Pinephone V2. Even my ~6yo Samsung S4 has a 1080p screen and 32gb of internal storage.
On the software front maybe someone can answer a question: what is the end goal of the linux OSes? Are we going to be able to use the apps that are available for Android for example? Without something like that it seems that adoption of alternative OSes might be low.
I don’t really think there’s an end goal in mind for these projects, besides getting things like CRUST and Calls and Messaging figured out as soon as they can. They’re just trying to provide an alternative to typical phone OSes like Android and iOS while trying to provide a full Linux experience in your pocket.
SailfishOS lets you run Android apps, and some of the other available OSes let you install Anbox so you can sort of run some apps. I think people shouldn’t go in just expecting to run Android apps. The point is to get away from the Android/iOS ecosystem and embrace a growing mobile Linux ecosystem.
