And I can guarantee you’d be basically helpless and mostly useless as a mobile dev in this landscape…
I’m painting a grim picture but the reality is that the task is so ginormous that it would take tremendous ressources and thousands of devs to make it happen.
This. I was putting a lot of hope into the PinePhone, but the effort required to 1) make it at least barely usable and then 2) keep it that way across updates is just too huge.
And believe me, I tried back then. Even as a software developer, I couldn’t live with it, making all the possible sacrifices. After more than a year of struggles I just got a Pixel 7 and couldn’t be happier to this day.
