@awai @jolla I'm keen to understand more about the SoC and mainline support.

@jolla Jolla is not what most people would call #LinuxMobile. Important parts are non-free. Their licensing also prevents "doing it together". You wound not call #Android Linux Mobile, would you? There are other projects trying to do the right thing, such as https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices .

@pavel @jolla while I have backed the jolla phone and I hope it is a huge success, I would love to see a vendor supported device that runs mainline Linux as a usable device. Every option is compromised with poor hardware, no vendor support or libhybris based. I am genuinely hoping that this changes soon.

@dubstar_04 @jolla So... I wish Jolla a good luck. Android needs competition. (I may even felt a bit sad when Windows Mobile was gone, and was certainly sad when Maemo/Meego stopped being supported by Nokia).

Vendor-supported mainline devices are Pinephone [Pro] and Librem 5, AFAICT.

Jolla used libhybris at some point, IIRC. And having non-free parts are a big problem. But... good luck! :-)
