    Agreed, I see no way Linux phones become a viable alternative in the near future. Tbh, it is extraordinary to expect Linux on phones when it only has small adoption in desktop space - how will it be ready for phones, for which no Linux apps have been developed? Coupled with the funding and hardware compatibility, I just don’t see Linux phones.







  • Regarding the first point:

    This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.

    It seems like the particular news does not mean android is increasingly going closed-source, just that the dev branch will be private. Is there an evidence that they are taking components out of AOSP?
