    We desperately need a third option for phones. Apple is Apple, Google has more or less become Microsoft. We need a Linux variant for phones.

      PostmarketOS, Mobian, and Ubuntu Touch. Also, LibrePhone project by FSF. Those are currently our best bets. Would love to see more people contribute to those though

      Also, a couple open source hardware manufacturers making phones: KDE, Tuxedo Computers, Framework, etc
