Well, they do have few mobile devices with Ryzen and QC chips, they have been investing heavily in Linux OS recently, so crossing fingers Libre phone would collaborate with them to release Libre Phone Black Magick to the gamers, that would sway a big chunk of Android enthusiasts to switch, and then apps would follow.

That’s a neat resource list! I don’t know why anyone wants to torture themselves porting void to mobile, cool nonetheless!

AMD entered the chat.

They’ve been trying to do it for ages, and they’re forever a tad closer. The software stack is where the challenge lies, not the hardware. Still today, you can buy AMD hardware that on paper is better than Nvidia’s, yet you can’t squeeze out similar performances matching shittier Nvidia cards. Even still, rocm, the ‘cuda’ for AMD, can’t even compete with even vulkan (an open source agnostic backend). So I doubt china will deliver that fast.

Luckily now, the hardware is advanced enough that a linux phone is on the edge of being viable. If I can’t unlock a bootloader and compile my own android rom, I won’t be using Android. What’s interesting the open source alternative, like fdroid is really fully replacing the play store for me.

Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

Tech news. Fast tech news. It’s well centralized. Unfortunately nothing comes close (not reddit, nor HN, nor lemmy).

I hate to shill for Google given their recent stanceand steps against AOSP, but early Android was truely open source, and it was amazing. Then the started kneecapping it by making it heavily reliant on google services and being antagonistic against the community. Part of it because China is becoming a gigantic threat, both hardware and software (Huwaei’s latest OS). Still, AOSP has been caught in the crossfire.

It’s the year of the linux phone. /s

Sounds like an AI prompt
