Support linux mobile devs more people.
This is really naive. Mobile Linux is never going to happen for many reasons.
It would be better to spend effort on lobbying regulators to prevent this move.
Naysayer whose about to be proven wrong. They said desktop Linux was never going to happen or that putting a man on the moon is impossible…
Desktop Linux is still an extremely niche userbase, even with SteamOS and Microsoft doing its absolute best to aggravate users.
