- flukus 10y agoI'm hoping the fairphone (https://shop.fairphone.com/en/ https://shop.fairphone.com/en/) works out well myself, and that I'll be able to install something like ubuntu or sailfish on it.
- CaptSpify 10y agoIs that one of the goals? On their homepage they say android. Do they have an ETA for a release?
- flukus 10y agoNo, but I think it's meant to be open enough that other people can provide alternative OS's. At least I hope it is, I don't care for the ethical side of things much. ETA is late may. The biggest problem I have with the current alternative OS's is that they only seem to support nexus devices that I'm not interested in. It would be ice if this or something like it became the PC of smart phones.
