Why would anyone think that FSF is capable of releasing a unique and good device? It's gonna be a bog-standard Android device with some software modified/removed.
Might be ok for some people still though. Also I'll be happy to be wrong about my cynicism.
My fear with a Linux phone is debugging and troubleshooting. Reading logs and editing text files with a phone keyboard does NOT seem fun.
Should have something like ADB to connect it to PC and debug from there.
If I am not home that seems like a major barrier because I would need a laptop with ADB and a place to work. Having a USB C keyboard would help some.
True, though I don't expect for many people to do complicated debugs on the go.
FSF audience is special, though :D
Hmmm. How about an app for editing configs specifically?
Like, an entire protocol/standard thing for specifying the exact values accepted, too.
No more text-only configs, right?! And apps made specifically to give you a GUI to configure a specific service can still exist on top of this!
That would be a good idea to start this off... right?
Make the settings app extremely modular? Have it be able to parse most config file standards and even provide guidelines for common system config files?
RTFM!!!!!!!!
Do you have any idea how much of a barrier running something like "man nmcli" in terminal on a phone screen would be?
