My main problem with all these &quot;well, it failed&quot; alternative operating systems for phones are: I couldn&#x27;t even buy them in the first place. I tried, but there was no hardware available in my region that ran on my network etc. The closest thing we&#x27;ve got is the nexus, but what we need is a &#x27;standard&#x27; (de-facto or otherwise) phone like x86 PCs had to be in order for linux to take off.
