   What are the free software alternative phones/tablets and how do we concentrate our support so at least one of them is successful?

      Reach out to Fulu, this should be a project.

      best bet is currently GrapheneOS and that is still Adroid and will likely have to fight an up-hill battle in coming years

      there are some (decent &amp; serious) Efforts to make Linux apps&#x2F;UI tools phone format compatible

      but for various reasons (mostly hardware) stuff like e.g. the Libre phone feel more like toys for enthusiast and very committed people then things a &quot;average&quot; person can just use.

      The biggest problem in the future seems to be the regulatory capture&#x2F;lobby induced &quot;well meant but bad done&quot; laws, wrt. to misguided device attestation laws which &quot;happen&quot; to in effect require you to have a Google Android or iPhone in practice even through that not actually being needed for the law to work.
