I’d love to put Lineage or Graphene on my phone, but neither one supports it. I think these OS fall prey to the “losing the hardware lottery” problem that Linux has, a term coined by @mcc@mastodon.social. So imagine a world where we do get Linux on a phone, how easy it would be to lose that lottery.
A little holier than thou don’t you think? Like I’ve got existing hardware and I’m leaving Windows. If (for example) Bazzite doesn’t work on my hardware, you think I should go out and buy brand new hardware to run Bazzite? Or maybe find some way to extend the lifetime of the hardware I have?
I mean you even admit yourself that you moved from one Android OS to another. You bought a new phone every time you went from Cyano to Lineage to Graphene?

I have never lost the hardware lottery, by virtue of not playing it. I buy my hardware to support the OS I run, not the other way round.
