     @vitali64sur @hexaheximal The kernel, Linux is already used on pretty much all recent mobile devices?
     
     Thankfully you can install GNU on PostmarketOS and get GNU on mobile devices.

     Even if the version of Linux is heavily patched and contains GPLv2 infringing proprietary kernel modules, it's still Linux.
     
     PostmarketOS is quite good in how they remove proprietary drivers and mainline device-specific patches to Linux, but unfortunately they don't go all the way to 100% freedom.
     
     
     How you can rescue a otherwise mediocre OS by installing GNU is always relevant.

     @Suiseiseki That kernel that's ran on these devices is often very old and heavily patched (e.g. 50K lines changed)

     What does this have to do with the quote?
