Wow, you still don't get it.
Show me a Linux phone that is actually configured to unlock with both biometrics and pin, then you have proven that Linux is relevant.
I don't care about what is technically possible, I care about it actually being done.
I am not even asking if it is easy to setup or simple to use, I am just asking you to prove that it can be done on a Linux phone.
I am just asking for a proof of concept running on a Linux phone.
I am giving Linux the best possible chance here, the bare minimum.
The tasks I want to see done on a Linux phone is the following:
I love Linux, I have been a Linux sysadmin for almost a decade and used Linux on and off for almost twenty years. I daily drive Windows due to work and gaming, but am considering switching to Linux at home when Win10 goes EOL.
But unless you can show me a Linux phone configured as described above then Linux is not the answer.
For the time being I wish you a happy midsummer.
Linux is fucking dying on phones. UBport, etc all they can do is a cat and mouse game. Voip? Catch the mouse. And all the while it's running om proprietary cellular modem chips, something that will never change
