Building a linux phone: do you mean from scratch, or just installing one of the Linux phone OS's that already exist?

I've been following Ubuntu Touch for several years now and, while they have made a lot of progress, its main hurdles have the same thing in common: mobile hardware is incredibly locked down. For example, Ubuntu Touch uses proprietary Android drivers for many low level functions. Even then, there's some features that aren't stable across all devices, like VOLTE.

It sucks, I really want to use Ubuntu Touch (or any of the Linux alternatives) but I can't make phone calls or text in the US without VOLTE support. There are a few phones that support VOLTE, but the feature is either in beta, the phone is expensive, or the phone is not sold in the US.

Anyways bringing that back to Graphene: In my case, I'm using this as a stopgap until Linux phones take off (assuming they ever do). For now I guess the best thing is to just be skeptic, keep things minimal, and bloat-free.

Ok. Which ones, and why?

Edit: I can see the 5 and 7 year support, but what about the rest of the list?

Human trash

There are many technical reasons why: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Every Android phone (besides Pixel) fails to meet the high technical requirements of the project.

Sadly true in any situation that requires talking to anyone else.

It's Portal 2... the Valve classic is Portal 2

What about the man whose house they broke into? Nobody ever asks if he's ok 😔

This cleared my stuffy nose, thank you.
