From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

At $200... Maybe.

AI slop video, no faith in what will (or likely won't) be delivered.

I can get a new modern smartphone which works without major problems at $80. I see no reason to spend double that on a flip phone.

Is that phone truly Linux based, have expandable memory, a temeable battery, etc... and does it have a team actively supporting it to maintain and expand those features? I'm saying I'd pay $200 for what they were describing IF real people were building a movement away from the same black apple/samsung rectangles, locked into deep Google surveillance fed back to palantir.
