    An ideal phone:

    • Fairphone 4/5 like build
    • Unlocking the bootloader without asking manufacturer for the code
    • Access to the flashing and pairing tools from the factory to eliminate bricking
    • U-boot, Coreboot or similar sane bootloader
    • (Close to) mainline Linux support for the components, to enable “lifetime” updates and OS freedom
    • Optional: headphone jack and SD card slot
    • Dyskolos@lemmy.zip

      What a dream… But sadly it probably won’t happen. They manages to establish this shit as a standard and that’s it.

      Imagine PCs would be like that too. Would anyone buy them if they couldn’t install EVERYTHING? Or delete or change system-stuff/-apps? Or just go and install Linux? Or win? Or both?
