The low-cost PinePhone isn’t a perfect device, but the nuanced ecosystem it’s going to build for Linux-based smartphones is going to be amazing.

    I’m excited, but probably waiting for the second gen pinephone. Don’t really want to deal with the jankyness if it’s my only phone.

    It’s just talking about the PinePhone? I was excited because I thought another competitor came in.

    Android is linux based. If it’s gnu user land just call it gnu/linux based.

      what if it’s postmarketOS? Then what do we call it? musl libc/linux? busybox/linux?

        If the article is talking about Linux based oses that are not Android, but can be gnu or non-gnu user land then “non-android linux based os” is a less confusing name.
