minus-squareerebion@news.erebion.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·6 days ago it uses a downstream Android kernel it does not use a mainline kernel the Android kernel creates dependencies and makes it difficult to keep up to date for more than a couple years their AppSuport is literally Android in a container with some proprietary parts their apps are scarce as they need to be built for the OS (no Flatpak or any other support for the existing mobile Linux software) the UI and some other components are proprietary I believe those points make clear why I see more of a future in projects like Mobian, postmarketOS, Fedora Pocketblue.
