Yes, I sure hope we can use GNU/Linux on phone one day. It wouldn't be that hard to make, given an unlocked hardware platform and open source drivers for baseband and graphics module. Actually, I have done a device very similar to smartphone in its hardware capabilities, but it was a commercial product limited in functionality. If I could get such hardware at home, I would definitely make some crude, hackish GNU/Linux smartphone.
- maheart 10y agoRight now, thanks to libhybris[1] you can run glibc compiled systems (i.e. regular Linux, aka GNU/Linux) on top of proprietary Android drivers. [1] https://github.com/libhybris/libhybris https://github.com/libhybris/libhybris
- voltagex_ 10y agoI'd pay for a tutorial that shows how to use libhybris to accomplish that.
