I just want a phone that runs Linux, not Google's commercialized fork.

Running Linux as an android app is useless.
That's cool and all but what's the progress on PostmarketOS? what's left that they need to implement? Also once the OS is fully complete then it should be much easier to port to other phones no? Just having to account for differences in architecture and software?
I just cant see that price when all parts are becoming more expensive.
I can't see how €550 is reasonable...
this is honestly my biggest take on all of the alternative phone options.
Like I can see spending 500-1000 on a device that is already established and known to be good. 500-1000 on an enthusiast device is a bit of an ask.
If there was an alternative device that was somewhat in the consumer range for phones (so 50-250 range) I think it would go a lot better, but every alternative phone seems to focus on flagship series price ranges for devices, and for a project that may or may not take off that's not a good objective.
Well my main gripe with linux phones (as i don't have obe) is i need an app to live (health reasons) and don't know if its compatible with a linux phone. And forking out half a grand just to "try", is a big ask. And i keep hearing some banking apps might not work too
Honestly if it just runs Linux that would make me happy
Can I pay extra to not have to use windows 11?
You'd probably have to pay for a license to have it included
seems very expensive, would've been nicer if it could just run linux properly (mainline)
Unless that's the only device you'll ever use i see no point in supporting Windows...
Who goes out of their way to make such a monstrosity. The amount of compatibility efforts must have really distracted from making any one of them exceptional.
Of course, I could be completely wrong.
Also…: Windows??? Give it a dang rest! Windows on a mobile device was last a great idea around 2006.
Linux and Android would be pure chef’s kiss AFAIC.
I can’t take Linux phones seriously until they get some serious third party support at the very least.
