I'm ready to completely break from Google forever for everything.

I'll try anything to get away from Google at this point, even if it means downgrading hardware.

    I want one, certainly, as having open hardware makes it a lot easier for me to trust it for praxis purposes. Plus I could be p confident I could just buy that phone and not need a new one for years and years and years, always getting kernel updates even if I have to compile the damn things myself (and some people might anyways just to be more paranoid) and being reasonably able to fix the hardware instead of resigning to buy a new one just because it's cheaper than a repair.

    But the software's not there yet, and I'd at least want something like Anbox or whatever running well enough on it that I could use at least some of the better-running Android apps.

    Also, Plasma Mobile has me excited. A lot of the apps for it are currently available in the Chaotic-AUR for god knows why, and while they're very feature incomlpete the fact that they're desigend for mobile means they're fantastic for tiling desktops, so you can have a Mastodon app that you can reasonably use in a very tiny window. Even if the phones themselves don't take off, the software made for the phones will still be very useful for those of us that like to keep way too many windows open.
