@razen @viov The "mobile computing" was organized probably by some really dark circles of the big USA eavesdropping/world police line. It was not at all about that you have a linux (osx) on your phone. IT WAS ABOUT REPLACING THE FREE PC WORLD BY A CONTROLLED SLAVE ONE. We sucked it.
That's really sad, so basically until and unless companies make open drivers there is nothing we as a consumer can do tbh. I dont really think Qualcomm or MediiaTek will ever do that. And cellular things like 4g and 5g are the least one to be open ever.
