As much as I love Linux I’ll be the first to admit that it probably won’t catch on with average users for a long time. Most people really don’t want to have to troubleshoot anything and just want something that works out of the box, and Linux isn’t really able to deliver that consistently.

I’m curious to try a Linux phone myself, but being in Canada importing new hardware is expensive and the other phone models that are compatible are ancient, and often without VoLTE support which is gonna be mandatory pretty soon here

They’ve been saying “maybe it’s the year of the Linux desktop” for years, mobile Linux only reliably works on a handful of specific modern devices and some fairly old ones

I wouldn’t hold my breath for it

I knew I had a good old fashioned photoshop version lying around

Meanwhile in Canada, if something falls into a niche good luck finding it in person. It’s getting beyond frustrating trying to buy in person to avoid Amazon, then finding out that nowhere carries it and having to order from Amazon anyway.

That’s what we get when Canada is a handful of monopolies in a trenchcoat instead of a country.
