if steve jobs saw you reserving 15% screen width for a single icon and then putting a left side arrow back button on the unreachable right side of the screen he would've personally taken you behind a dumpster and beat you with a metal pipe
It iss stuff like this that really seals the deal for me that Apple is on its way out (albeit slowly). Imagine launching such an enormous product, with such a notable feature (pencil support), and not having it ready at launch. Steve's Apple never did stuff like this.
The world is ready for a third option. Luma is here to step up and fill that void!
Linux phones: could they finally become a real alternative to Android and iOS?
After years of stagnation, Linux phones may be approaching a turning point.
In a recent article, Amos Batto explains how new hardware options, more mature interfaces like Phosh and Plasma Mobile, and tools such as Waydroid could make Linux phones more practical.
But better technology alone won’t be enough.
Projects like PINE64 and Purism have faced serious challenges. Building a phone is one thing; funding software development, maintaining hardware support and keeping a company afloat are much harder.
Jolla’s latest phone also suggests there is a market for alternatives, particularly among people who want more control over their devices.
Linux phones don’t need to replace Android or iOS to matter. They need to become a practical option for people who value privacy, software freedom and digital sovereignty.
Would you consider switching to a Linux phone if it supported the apps and features you rely on every day?

I will absolutely be watching this Linux project with great interest.
Luma Linux - The desktop is called Prairie, and the team describes it as a hard fork of GNOME. Its goal is to provide a shell, windows, fonts, and apps that all look and feel the same. simplyluma.com/download
