All in, I would venture to guess that the wider adoption of Linux phones will arrive on the shoulders of Halium or some distant fork of Halium. Let us leverage the mobile hardware drivers that the multi-million dollar companies spent years developing, testing, and fine-tuning. Get Linux into the hands of millions. Build security features to protect against the drawbacks of older kernels. This is the way. (5)

The most reliable Linux phone I've ever had was a Nexus 5 running #UbuntuTouch.This is why I wish Halium played a larger role in the Linux Mobile world today. Ubuntu Touch and #Droidian have demonstrated how it can be done. Maybe the final answer isn't Ubuntu Touch or Droidian. They have both experienced their own set of challenges. Financial support for these sorts of ventures is always in short supply. (4)

The most reliable Linux phone I've ever had was a Nexus 5 running #UbuntuTouch.I worry, however, that hardware is developing too quickly. Upstreaming drivers is a short term solution and will never get Linux phones into the hands of millions. (3)

The most reliable Linux phone I've ever had was a Nexus 5 running #UbuntuTouch.As I see it, making and receiving calls and feeling confident about the quality and stability of those calls is non-negotiable. I believe this remains one of the largest obstacles to the broader adoption of Linux phones. Projects like #postmarketOS, #Mobian, and #PureOS are simply amazing. Each have clear values and focus; whether to reduce waste or run only free and open source software. (2)

After giving it a lot of thought, I can't help but think that #Halium is the best path forward for #LinuxMobile. Several projects have tried to make calling and audio routing as reliable on Linux phones without Halium as on Android or iOS, but it just isn't happening. (1)
