There is a very popular Linux phone OS. It's called Android.
This sounds somewhat pat and snarky, but I am trying to make a real point. Let's go to some of what the article says:
==================
Having an "one true way" to use the UI and tons of preinstalled apps is the reason I dislike the android ecosystem...
Megapixels has a fully user-configurable post-processing pipeline basically since the start. It allows you do anything you want after clicking the shutter button in the app since it's a shell script. Still people complain about how they don't like that there's an extra file they don't want (the dng) or photo upload is missing. ITS A SCRIPT, CHANGE IT. Do you really want a Linux phone?
==================
If you're defining "a Linux phone" as "a phone that uses bash scripts for configuration and where nothing works out of the box", then no. People don't want a Linux phone. But then, by that standard Ubuntu isn't catering to a "true" Linux audience. I don't think this is a useful definition of the word.
