  1. Android is a Linux distro
  2. Most people, me included, don't want to run normal Linux on their phone. I use Linux on the desktop. I don't hate Linux or anything of the sorts. But for phone use, normal Linux sucks major ass. What we need is GrapheneOS to be normalized and independent app stores for GrapheneOS.
  3. The above is not to say Linux phones are bad for everyone. I am sure there are few people who would enjoy it, but they are the minority.
