Maybe I was wrong to share the project at its early stage. I hope the Paxo's team doesn't get discouraged by all these negative comments. Personally, I was really impressed with the project and wanted to share it here.

People will complain about anything and everything, but those aren't the people that matter to a project like this. The people that matter to a project like this are the people who find it interesting. Linux was a hobby project once. Some of these comments are like saying of the PS5 "Oh great, another `game console` that's just a PC that boots to a launcher." Whatever, close the tab and keep working on it. Building stuff is more fun than listening to internet complainers.

I think that's correct. Maybe even just a different title, indicating it's a youth project, would have set more accurate expectations. There are a LOT of half baked linux phone projects. And many people here, I'm sure, have bought and tried to use a few of those. It's generally not a fun experience. Even if a person is trying to contribute to the project, if you work on something hard for half a year, then have the whole thing disappear into the void. I would call that "not fun". So, as a high school kids project, it's an awesome acheivement. Just having a high school student be so aware of the impacts of technology freedom is awesome. But as a "hey, here's your new linux phone", this one is not ready for prime time. Really just a matter of how the project is presented...

  Where did you get that this is "linux phone" project? Because if you spend enough time to read about it, you'll find that it's esp32 based running a RTOS and a custom app suite. Really matters to read what you comment on...
