The new Pixel is 7 years, which really should be the norm.

I'd really rather use a Linux phone, but a mix of closed modems and other non-technical issues are causing headaches. But theoretically, support on those devices could be indefinite because I could patch it myself if needed.

    I just want a simple headphone jack that has worked for like the last century instead of relying on flaky Bluetooth that becomes a physical fingerprint, but apparently that’s too much to ask for in phones now

    I worry that it'll just become a million distros with incompatible apps and dumb shit like that. Bad enough we have to have 5 or 6 guides for each piece of software on Linux.

    Im.glad apt, yum and systemd exist.

    I think we'll largely just piggy back off Android, kind of like WINE/Proton does for Windows stuff. There will probably be a few flavors of that, but it'll all essentially be the same thing.

    But who knows, I'd like that to be the problem we have instead of current problem where basic functionality doesn't work reliabiably (like waking to receive a call/text).
