I'll drop this reminder here: donate to your local linux phone OS projects! Donate money, code, bugs, triage, design... Donate PR time. They're all running on shoestring or non-budgets.
We've all let these projects die of starvation, and now we keep having these threads but frankly none of the big two platforms have to be afraid people might flock away. Maybe to the other big platform, until they flock back during the next brouhaha...
This. We need to put our money where our mouths is, and accept the discomfort NOW (both to our wallets and to how convenient it is to use a device), so that things can be better LATER, for us and for users who can't tell a Terminal command from gibberish and just want to get on with their lives.
