Six years ago the entire Linux enthusiast space was super excited for the PinePhone, then everything fell apart. What went wrong? Was PINE64’s favoritism towards Manjaro the sole issue or were there other problems?

      Regarding the software, the entire operating system will be open source, and all LiberuxOS developments will be published. The installed software will also be open source.

      This is what makes me distrustful. Will? Just publish what you have. Start open, not “eventually open”. What if they decide “nah, we actually don’t want to opensource it”? Then that money donated towards an opensource phone is down the drain or just into some grifter’s pockets.
