Creating an alternative OS isn't the problem, it's that manufacturers like Apple prevent installing alternative operating systems.

- Vegenoid 3y agoWhat is stopping a company from making a phone that can run other operating systems? I am genuinely curious to hear from people who have domain knowledge, I’m not trying to make a point
- johnny22 3y agoThere's nothing stopping a company from making such a phone. The pixel phones from google can probably already boot a regular linux kernel for example if you unlock the bootloader. Then we'd need documentation to be able to actually write drivers. Another part of the problem is how fast the tech is moving outside of the iphones, which makes it harder for anybody to focus on specific hardware.
