I just want a phone that runs Linux, not Google's commercialized fork.
Just yesterday I learned about SailfishOS on the Jolla phone and I have to say I was pretty impressed. This is already much more useable then I thought. In optimistic we'll have a great Linux phone in a couple of years.
SailfishOS uses old kernels with SoC patches, those are Android kernels, support for it will never be longer than on Android.
Look at mecha comet, yesterday they launched the kickstarter. First delivery in may 26 promised
