    Judging from the video thumbnail, I’m going to guess this youtuber says no, they aren’t.

      Never heard of FuriLabs, looks really cool. How open is the OS/hardware? Could be my next phone… though I’d love to see an immutable approach so I can’t be left with a broken system after an update.

    “Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

    Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.
