Jolla?

False. Its a legitimate question. The open source community should have pulled it off by now.

What the fuck is wrong with this community? It’s guaranteed success.

Android? Retard

i dont know about docking but you could watch out for librem 5

Librem 5 uses extremely old hardware at double the price of a normal phone. Not even worth it. Just like the Ubuntu phone.

Among basement dwelling neets (i.e. no one)

Unfortunately nobody cares about freedom and would rather throw away their phone with every OS update.

Ubuntu has a phone
And android is Linux dipshit

It is.
Just not GNU.
Go to your device information and it lists your android version and then the coresponding linux kernel version.

I hate to say it
but yeah, kinda

stop posting selfies

Android is a Linux program.

A phone runs a Linux OS and android ontop of that

If Android is Linux Linux is MINIX. Therefore Linux doesn't exist, and a mass produced Linux phone doesn't exist. Furthermore, MINIX doesn't exist either, and GNU implodes due to a paradox. Everyone claiming that Android is Linux is absolutely retarded.

Yeah Android is essentially an extended Java VM for Linux

THIS
And doesn't Ubuntu have a phone?
... What would a Linux/Gnu phone do for you that you cant get from Android now?

>GNU implodes due to a paradox.
GNU/NULL

>Everyone claiming that Android is Linux is absolutely retarded.
It literally runs on Linux, therefore it a Linux distribution. This is where the Linux v. GNU/Linux distinction actually matters.

How can you breath being this stupid?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

This. Software is "free" (that is, it can be - and usually is - worthless). Hardware is not, so open sores is too poor to do it.

>Java VM
disgusting

It's "breathe", you mong. Next time you try to insult someone's intelligence, git gud at spelling first. It enhances your credibility no end.

It's free as in freedom, not as in price.

Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, all these proprietary companies regularly give away their botnet software for no cost to try and rope people into using it, they are the ones who are driving prices down and destroying value, they are the ones who are too ethically and creatively bankrupt to make good products anymore.

But you can install gentoo on any android

>OS: android 8.1

...

Librem 5 coming soon

It's the first of it's kind. You're paying not for hardware but for research and assembly mostly. If you're gonna argue about it then any Samsung, Sony and Apple phone is also twice as expensive as it should be.
Of you think paying extra for privacy, security and freedom isn't worth it then you clearly aren't the target audience.

forgot pic. Android is by definition Linux. just not GNU/Linux

blender

literally 90% of web servers

also 100% of top 500 supercomputers. all of them are linux including the ones that some retards here think arent.

Phones with tizen exist, and tizen is basically a Linux distro with bells and whistles thrown on top.

>buys newer hardware phone with either cuckOS
>near useless after 3 updates

Do you really think the specs are going to be the problem if you control the updates?

If you want a great camera go buy one.
If you need a 4k screen on your smartphone you are a lost cause.

>phone that can also dock and become your desktop
Ubuntu did it but didn't catch on because... well early Ubuntu.
Microsoft did it but didn't catch on because... who the fuck knows actually. WP did it better than Ubungu, had more apps, was cheap af and everything was tightly integrated OOTB with W10.

Prediction: 2 years from now Apple will "invent" dockable phones.

Surface phone when?

After Apple manufactures proprietary docks for their devices and tricks iDrones into putting them in every public space possible effectively killing the competition :)

>Prediction: 2 years from now Apple will "invent" dockable phones.
Samsung are doing it right now, so you are probably correct.

Apple won't invent those, apple's goals are to make computing as normalfag as possible, nothing else. Not make clunky devices hard to use for noon neck beards.

are you high or just really stupid?

samsung.com/us/explore/dex/
yeah, dockable phones that "turn into a computer" is already a thing.

nobody's done the laptop thing yet, though. I can easily see a shell with a battery and a screen and a keyboard and a slot for a cellphone. but I suspect it will be someone like xiaomi who does it first, not apple or lenovo and certainly not dell or hp (who don't have phones). nobody who's selling a lot of laptops will want this to become a thing but xiaomi or oneplus or someone else who's primarily a phone company will probably put something like that on the market.

Praise Java

Open sores Linux is better than Goggle spying.

At least it would be ubiquitous.
HP was selling Windows phones. Not exactly sure when they stopped.

fucking idiot is what OP is.

>(((Google))) phones
fuck off

>WP did it better than Ubungu, had more apps, was cheap af and everything was tightly integrated OOTB with W10.
Hahahaha. It was shit with no integration whatsoever.
The one that did something like that was on 3 phones total. My Lumia 930 didn't get shit.

At least Ubuntu phone can run all Linux apps with no problems.

The windows phones could be docked

Motorola fid a laptop phone 2 in 1

It would be easier to degoogle android (see replicant) that build all the other parts. Canonical tried to do the ubuntu phone and it ran like shit even on flagship phones at the time. Then they went full retarded with a super expensive phone and nobody bought it.

If you're too paranoid to use replicant or some other android variant there's Sailfish OS which is linux-based and afaik 100% FOSS. Check the list of supported devices, buy an android phone nuke the OS and install sailfish on it

That's because they're not making up the cost by selling your data and making deals with third parties to included preinstalled bloatware.

>buys a bottom of the barrel 8.1 phone without Continuum
>WHY IT NO DOCK?????

No, the guy is asking a serious question.

Let me actually use it, instead of it using me.

>buys top of the line flagman with WinMo 8.1 and promise of Windows 10 with all the goodies
>WHY IT NO DOCK?????
Here, fixed it for you. It didn't even get call recording feature FFS.

In general, Microsoft were the worst when it came to support and promises. They constantly changed their statements from "every 8 phone will get 10" to, eventually, "a couple of 8.1 phones will get 10 unofficially through update assistant but with half the features".

Fuck Microsoft.

>mass produced
Will never happen

Buy a Librem phone if you want a meme phone
