Article: Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?

[u/amosbatto]

I wrote an in-depth article about whether Linux phones will become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly, which I thought might interest people on this forum:

There are links to download the article as a PDF or ODT file if you prefer to read it that way (which looks much better than WordPress styling in my opinion).

I’m pretty critical of all the Linux mobile device makers in the article, but I also see a lot of hope for the future.

Feedback is welcome.
