> People even want to use Flutter to make UIs, was the phone lacking in google technologies for your liking?
If a company makes a tool that can repurposed for a system not by them, then why shame people for using that tool?
> But even weirder, there's tons of people asking for Android roms for the PinePhone. What's the point? Do you believe in the church of papa Alphabeticus, the pope of the internet?
People want to use apps that the environment current lacks. Again, there's no reason to shame them for it, FFS.
> It's the community that against "the other side". It's the developers that are actually working together to make something.
And yet, this is made after scorning users for not truly wanting to use a Linux phone on the basis of them possibly incorporating software that were from Google. How can the author hypocritically call for a Kumbaya within the Linux community, when they are already indulging in gatekeeping and confrontational behavior of their own?
And at what point is this arbitrary purism satiated? Is a completely ad-less Google-originated technology like Go to be rejected? Should Protobufs be considered harmful because of where they come from? When did Google become the '90s Microsoft of '20s Linux, anyway?
> People are still complaining to other people that they have chosen wrong. This is Linux, you can do what you want with your device.
And yet the author has the audacity to question people wanting to try different things with their mobile distros, even things they don't want, such as 'Having an "one true way" to use the UI and tons of preinstalled apps.' Just rampant naked hypocrisy. Do they really want a Linux phone?
