My Linux is not ever going to have any age verification.

I’m not living in those backwards contry and if that push ever comes to shove, there will always be way around it. It’s the beauty of open source, no entity is liable to comply. And we’re in the brink of ad-hoc internet which would render that stupid centralized and overgoverned shit to zero.

Seems a good one.

I want to test this for awhile and show to friends.

Short answer = Nope.

PlugOS does not run in the phone, but in the thumb device named PlugMate.

Running OS in any phone is not possible as bootloaders are tailored to specific SoC:s and proprietary to manufacturers and they really do not share the sources.

If it would be possible we would have quite wild mobile phone linux scene.

Well. When masses opt out from newer equipment and companies revenue needs them to use theur services, they just need to revise end of support date.

I myself will not ever use thin clients. If that ever comes to reality, I will just drop my phone off.

I also think that as Google is closing it’s android ecosystem next september and the phones will be more expensive there will emerge need and supply for lighter and open chips to build alternatives to ios and android.

Laptops on the other hand seem to have reasonably long lifespan. My oldest still on use is from 2011.

I bet this will make people to hang on to what thay have for longer and thus force software companies finally create better optimisations and stop making everythung more resource hungry. Alternatively people would just have to drop off the crazy train.
