    If I can’t have hardware that supports open source Android forks, then it means that I won’t buy it. I can work around with dumbphones, MiFi routers with tethered Linux or BSD portables. I will not use a proprietary system outside of work, full stop.

        Just about what we should expect from the same FSF that has been developing GNU Hurd for more than 30 years now?

          The FSF isn’t really putting much effort in Hurd because they already have the Linux kernel, Stallman also said that it’s not crucial to finish Hurd

          Btw, if they will even finish Hurd, i hope that they also add some standards to avoid the incredible mess that is the world of Linux distribution today, we have many packages formats that are not interoperable and other stuff
