    i think that’s not a great way to think about it. when is the year of the linux desktop? its a slow build until its a viable ecosystem.

    if companies just stopped making linux phones, the ecosystem would wither up and die (not counting postmarketos)

    every new linux phone will inspire new people to try linux on a phone, and eventually we may have a viable alternative to ios and android.

      If it was going to be any year, and yes I know this is said a lot, it would be this year. With Win10 support ending, a bunch of Millennials are going to install it on their Boomer parent’s computers. You have the German government installing it on every computer they run. Major companies like Lenovo releasing handhelds with it pre-installed.
