Re: You would not be any better off with Ubuntu
" For the typical user the update situation with an Ubuntu phone would be no better than it is now with an Android phone"
It'd be MUCH, MUCH worse - simply because of how much phone users can do (thanks to Android) with their phones, all of which would be denied to them by a Linux OS.
Does ANYONE here honestly believe that the authors of the most successful phone apps out there are standing, primed and ready, to port their apps to a Linux phone OS?
Cobblers - ain't going to happen. Phone users want an OS that JUST WORKS - not an OS which is a high maintenance hobby (or CHORE, depending on your mindset).
