I’d gladly replace Android with any flavor of Linux whenever possible. But the phone and TV set top industries make it difficult/impossible. And the next barrier is whether my family could operate these without patience for bugs and missing features.
I don’t see why you’d need to run pure Linux over Android. Android phones at their core are a Java app running under Linux. There were even lawsuits because Android was originally a Java app.
Working on the open Android projects seems more productive.
Android is a Google project, you’ll always keep fighting your upstream.
It would be a hard fork which Google is forcing anyway. That’s the path Graphene is taking.
It’s start with a basic working phone gui and apps and improve it (Graphene’s path) or start with absolutely nothing and build everything again (Pine OS etc’s path).
I prefer just reusing the same software I use on my desktop, which is what I’m doing on my phone. I’ve ported Mobian to the Pixel 3a for precisely that reason.
I want the same software on the go.
I love the bleeding edge and all that comes with it, but I’m not willing to give up on a lot of the apps I use and to be honest, I don’t wanna give up on Material 3 Expressive either.
