    • 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.

      Sure about the Android kernel?
      I was pretty convinced they use a Linux kernel and only have an Android app compatibility layer
