Why? Because of drivers? Don’t they already have Linux drivers for the fairphone?

I wonder if fable or astra could wire everything up.

LLMs do not solve every problem.

You are dependent on Qualcomm for hardware firmware updates and apparently they charge quite a bit extra if you want continuous monthly security updates [1]. This is possibly one of the reasons that smaller OEMs like Fairphone do not update firmware regularly and instead choose to keep their customers vulnerable to many known CVEs.

As a company that often lies, they won’t spend a single penny on this.
