You are living in fantasy land! Congratulations. I'd make a big bet less than 1% of phones out there allow this. Everyone else is locked into the small balkanized application-centric hell-world of consumer smartphone OSes.
- emteycz 5y agoThere is absolutely no shortage of Samsung devices, and second-hand ones are even cheap. If people are buying pricier locked up alternatives, perhaps they don't care about our fantasy land... Anyways I meant AOSP Android, it's truly good. X runs headless alongside it and is accessible via an Android Xorg client.
