    I hope for the better, probably I won't buy the first release but at least it will be the first mobile phone working with systemd...

      BTW, the article links to the forums instead of this topic.

        You fixed the asterisk and number sign in the dialer. Great!

          This usually happens when the article hasn't been posted in the forums by the Phoronix bot yet.

            Back in the day when systemd was still "just a better init" (something around 10 years ago), SHR already used it on Openmoko Neo Freerunner (and later on others like GTA04 and Nokia N900 too).

              Pine64 has shown several full Linux distros running on the PinePhone dev kits.

                  I hope there will be a functional Matrix client with video calls for it. And using Qt, not GTK so it could work with Plasma Mobile properly.

                    I don't think that's a concern for 98% of people wanting a Linux phone. People would much rather see a compass, gps, 4G/4G LTE, Wifi (2 Ghz/5 Ghz), more storage, better cameras, more ram.
