    Time to popularize Linux phones. I read that the security model is lacking, but especially given that Android is Linux too, it shouldn’t be too difficult to catch up. The EU is also interested in tech independence, so that could be one of the sources of funding. And there are a few viable early projects, like Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish.

      Sailfish is not very alive. Ubuntu Touch too.

      But honestly yes. I think the problems are mostly in hardware support.

        The political problems driving the push for independence are fairly recent, so the current state is unlikely to be predictive.

        There are devices using these operating systems that are also gaining popularity, like Jolla, Volla and Fair phone.
