Google's new developer mandate is hitting alternative app stores hard. F-Droid says forced registration, fees, and ID checks could end the open-source project.

    The mobile options for Linux are years out from being ready and the hardware vendors are locking them out as fast as possible.

      There’s generally been positive reviews for FuriLab’s FLX1 model:

      • https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/03/furiphone_flx1/

      Their new one, the FLX1s has 2GiB more RAM (for 8GiB, in total). I’ve heard battery gets 2 days without charge even with Android emulation.

          Sure; but we won’t close that gap immediately. Intermediate progress can be helpful for further progress.
