2026: Not the year of the Linux smartphone, yet

After two weeks of painful typing, bad call quality, carrying a battery pack around everywhere, and non-stop amateur hacking in my spare time, I made an executive decision to switch back to my iPhone. That being said, I was seriously impressed with how far mobile Linux software has come, and I don’t think this will be the last time I dabble in the fascinating and positive world of alternative mobile OSes and devices. I'm amazed at the communities of contributors out there working passionately towards the goal of making a viable alternative to iOS and Android.
