- I don’t want a Linux GUI on my phone I want non-android Linux on my phone - so what do you want then? a linux gui is as close to non-android as it gets right now. - and its coming along very nicely. - I want no reliance on Google - isn’t that precisely what linux phones intend to be? 
 
 
- This. Android is a tinker toy OS that squats like a fat toad on top of the Linux kernel and slurps up your personal data while barring you from doing anything useful with it. 
- Android itself is fine, the problem is that you cannot modify it. 
 Non-Android Linux only sounds good in theory, in practice you’ll be doing phone calls from command line, and that’s not fun. Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Firefox mobile OS went anywhere, and Gnome right now has better touchscreen support than Ubuntu Phone ever had.- Ubuntu Touch is still a thing 
 
 
- On mobile I use a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS, on desktop and laptop I daily drive Bazzite & Aurora (respectively). - This sounds very cool, Gnome & KDE have been hard at work making sure devs have the necessary tooling to make their apps responsive. Most of Gnome Core & Circle apps and specially KDE Plasma Mobile already are responsive. - I would love to see flathub on my phone. - But it all falls flat if Google is the gatekeeper.
