The phone market is lost. May be better to focus on keeping desktop/laptop Linux hardware available.
But the way things are going, the open source community might soon have to start designing their own CPUs, as you may not even be able to buy a high-performance CPU within a couple of decades, they'll be proprietary tech that only exists as part of a locked-down platform, like Apple are now doing.
- cherryturnover 5y agoThis is my greatest fear but you have to wonder if the reverse will happen, where tech companies get so large, they they can afford to develop and support their own distro (or even operating system).
- fsflover 5y ago> The phone market is lost. Anything to back this claim up? I disagree here. Librem 5 and Pinephone are getting more and more popular now. The first one is even recommended by the FSF: https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/v11/ https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/v11/ > the open source community might soon have to start designing their own CPUs Like RISC-V?
