    Please just officially support Linux mobile on it as an option. I don’t care if it buggy and barely usable, most Android phone companies actively make it almost impossible to install anything other than Android.

      They all use the base package from the chipset vendor. It only supports android and only for a given number of years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the license was massively invasive.

      Basically, there’s no drivers and no documentation for most mobile hardware outside of manufacturer contracts.
