    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

      People want software and a functioning phone. Linux, in all its glory, is not for consumers.

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