The tech is evolving quickly.

I wouldn’t tell someone to ditch their flagship Android or iPhone tomorrow. The ecosystem still needs time to mature.

But the direction is clear. Linux phones are getting more usable by the month, and the open hardware + privacy model is something the current mobile duopoly simply can't offer.

Meanwhile both major mobile platforms are tightening app-store control and pushing developer identification requirements that many open-source developers simply aren’t willing to comply with.

If you're already comfortable with things like Nostr or self-hosted tools, you're probably closer to ready than most people.

And the pace of progress is faster than people realize.

Linux mobile isn’t theoretical anymore—real devices are shipping, real operating systems like Ubuntu Touch and postmarketOS are running on them, and the ecosystem is growing in public.

This isn’t some distant future.

It’s already happening.
