I agree, but those options are also unlikely in the long term. I'm just being positive and hoping for a life without Google.

I was thinking, Linux only really worked because companies profit from it and therefore support it. If it were just for desktop users it would have never been more than a programmer hobby. I don't see phones benefiting more than the end user, and without a lot of profit on that I don't see that working. So I think the future is dark.

But I'll still invest on it and pretend I live in an ideal world and pretend it's possible. It's not zero percent chance I hope...
