I'd like to see phones get to that level of standardization too. Maybe wishful thinking. But imagine being able to grab a generic GNU/Linux image and slap it on

I'd like to see phones get to that level of standardization too. Maybe wishful thinking. But imagine being able to grab a generic GNU/Linux image and slap it on your phone no matter what that phone is!
I suppose the only phone manufacturers that are at all likely to do something like this are companies like Purism and Pine64.
- pabs3 6y agoFor phones there is the bigger problem of SoC and device vendors not mainlining Linux drivers for the hardware they have produced. This is less common with SoC vendors but I think there are still some problematic ones, and of course all the ARM GPU drivers are non-vendor ones created using reverse engineering (except the RPi one).
