kinda wanna get a pinephone just to boot stuff like Sailfish, Lune OS and Mobian and play around with it. Dream of a time where there's more than two mobile operating systems.

like, I quite like Android 12. It's come a long way. But I distinctly recall walking into a store and trying out Ubuntu mobile and I think also Firefox OS? and it was cool and felt like finally someone was trying something new in a pretty stale marketplace

@noiob I'm still kind of salty about Microsoft killing Windows Mobile and never doing anything good with Windows Phone. I still feel like Android even now still has ways to go before it reaches Windows Mobile's level of functionality.

@barret yup, Windows Phone was super well-designed and also really pretty. A bunch of my friends had WPs and just used the browser for stuff that you'd have an app for on other OSes. Really sad that they ended up giving up on it before Win 10 which looked so cool
