gollark: It's an alternative to vendor-supplied android.
gollark: Maybe someone will even fix the FM radio thing eventually.
gollark: Definitely a very useful innovation despite its limitations.
gollark: It's not great compared to PC, since the vendor can just not provide updates for the vendor stuff, and the kernel is annoying, but you can update much of userspace independently.
gollark: There's a UBPorts GSI.
