To me this is just sidestepping the real issue: I want an actual Linux phone, not android. I want a phone that runs debian/ubuntu/rh/whatever. I know Ubuntu makes a phone, but their website says they are currently all sold out. I also think that they just recently started selling to the US.

- shmerl 10y agoThere isn't anything decent out of the box, especially if you want to have a working LTE. You have two options. First, use Android kernel + blobs + libhybris, and on top of that install normal mobile glibc Linux distro. Second option is the same thing, but using upstream kernel and open drivers. If you can succeed in that, it's the best.

Tablets should be easier. I red, that Nexus 7 2013 (flo) should be almost ready to work with upstream kernel out of the box. The impression I get is, that Nexus 5 / Neuxs 7 are closest to becoming usable that way.
