Even with android custom ROMs like Lineage, support eventually ends. Meanwhile, you can just slap on linux onto any old computer and its still getting the latest updates. 🤔

Why not just do the same thing with phones? Forever phone updates? 👀

    Eventually we’ll hit it with phones, and then it’s just a matter of time till a solid “base” with swapable components come out. There’s been a couple already, but they still require a sacrifice of size or speed/power.

    I’d honestly argue that we’ve more or less hit it already, since a lot of phones over the past few years haven’t really changed from the template of being a black glass rectangle with some buttons on it.
