> No manufacturers would release any devices with this OS

PinePhone has one-upped /e/ and is releasing a competitively-priced device with mainline Linux support (not just AOSP)! It absolutely is a possibility.



How many people do you know who have heard of or will buy a device called PinePhone?

And that's the problem right there.

Hell, even the people who work in cybersecurity don't give two shits about this. I'm in this gig and phones are IOS across the board.


The pine phone (and other devices from pine 64) is currently for developers only. They explicitly ask that if you are going to return the devices because of a poor end user experience, then you please don't buy it in the first place.


Do any of your cyber friends have dumbphones?


Yes... “IOS across the board”
