MrAshCreates i agree with your point. most of that AI generated answer are easily solvable. lack of native app is one of the main concern here. if only a handful of developers are willing to make the app on this platform, it will end up like windows mobile. if Nothing going to make an OS that not android. at least they need to expand their user base to the “normies”. not only to design enthusiast, minimalist, and developers. with great user base, developer will be willing to create app natively on our platform. and hopefully be an alternative OS on par with IOS and android
The Potential of a Linux-Powered Nothing Phone
Udin yea I think the more nothing expands their fan base the less this will be an issue. I mean they have most tech enthusiasts already because most androids that aren’t Samsung or google or one of the other too 5 android phone brands are for people that have internet in particular things. And for Nothing it’s the design, the unique features, the Apple like premium. And generally it is tech enthusiasts and developers and someone who aligns with one of those things I listed. I feel are the ones that purchase Nothing Phones but maybe I’m wrong. I feel they already have the community they already have the amazing design and they have the funds to start this process. It may take 5+ years but we have some time to spare haha

I know this thread is pretty much closed by now, but this is a fascinating idea and one I’d like to get going a little more since nobody is talking about it.
I have a nothing phone 2a and I see the potential of Linux on a phone. I love kde and wish the extensive customizability was available on a phone, and I was wondering if you or anyone you know does Linux development (specifically on arm systems), don’t hesitate to send me a friend request on discord.

What if they stayed with Android and just made their invention work with Android. Seems to me that Nothing Phone is moving to all AI at some point and that my friend is the show stopper. They can make 2 phone one regular with Their version of Android and some AI and one Rapped Ape version with just AI platform. With all things considered if they switch to all AI it really doesn’t matter if they run Android OS or not. The Linux idea is a good one however the part is the Web-Browser is an actual Web-Browser and doesn’t require 8 million apps lol. They have to consider sales as well will this new product catch on the public is very funny about new phone stuff old is always better for some stupid reason. I think if a regular Linux OS for computers or Tablets whatever made like the Nothing Phone Theme that might start something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
