It’s difficult enough to get people to use LibreOffice Calc instead of MS Excel. It’s damn near impossible to get people to use Signal instead of WhatsApp or even fucking SMS.
In the meantime, I don’t know of a Linux phone that has calls and texts working reliably.
Libreoffice had 10m users in 2011 to 200m in 2018.
Signal had 0.5m users in 2019 to 40m in 2022.
Iphone just got RCS and more carriers are looking into implementing the protocol within their networks.
Nothing is built over night. The man who invented the radio was assumed “crazy” by his friends and was checked into a mental institution for “listening to voices” compared to today where the technology is used everywhere.
Linux phones will have the basics nailed down in the next 5 years as the Postmarked OS Team finally had their own stand at a convention and more people were said to be interested in the project by bringing their phones over with the os installed as compared to back then where people were merely just asking questions about the concept. Not to mention the increased funding of the project and the growing list of supported devices.
