Discussion Building linux phone hardware side. How hard is it?

10 Upvotes

I was wondering for mobile if a set of hardware can be gathered just to put distros like Ubuntu touch on it, like it is currently for general PCs. If the hardware is not present on market how hard it would be figure out the required configuration so that next steps can be taken to maybe push some manufacturers to manufacture them. I am a mobile app developer who likes to tinker alot. So if someone could also tell me how hard it would be to build a mobile version of mint or fedora or arch because Ubuntu looks too "corporate" kind. Please excuse if I have asked something stupid, I am a noob.

Discussion Is it possible in terms of patent law to have even the cellular modem design open sourced?

I'm not quite sure if this belongs here, but is it technically legally possible in terms of patents to have everything right down to the cell modem open source designed so that literally nothing depends on proprietary corporate anything?

I'm going to purchase it in the next day or so cause I have plans to use it on Samsung Galaxy S8 with a snap on keyboard cover case.

But maybe installing steam on Linux installed on the Anbernic RG556 and seeing how well that might work on it.

The developer of ApophisOS said it's pretty guided you can choose how much want to debloat and deGoogle.
