Canonical also tried this a few years ago with their Ubuntu Touch crowdfunding and failed. Even released some convergent devices but that didn’t sell much. My impression is that although the concept is cool it is simply not appealing for the general audience

The only hope we had was Microsoft, but that’s a joke in itself.

Linux on Desktop is fine, because it’s had a long time to mature and improve.
The problem is that Linux mobile software is very immature, so it isn’t ready for a general audience yet.
Android is Linux
