Description:
Phones running Linux are ubiquitous these days and it has been that way
since Android started working toward dominance in the smartphone market. Unfortunately, Android has slowly increased its freedom-unfriendliness and
has become something of a privacy nightmare. In a talk entitled "We need
an open-source phone OS" at Open
Source Summit Japan 2025 , Luca Weiss described the smartphone landscape
and gave an overview of postmarketOS as an alternative Linux
operating system for mobile handsets.
