Please Huawei, save us from this damned iOS-Android duopoly!

We’ve got Linux.

Without massive corporate funding for mobile apps, it doesn't have much chance on phones.

Must Valve do everything to bring Linux to the masses?

(I would love a Steam phone, though that’s never gonna happen)

Linux is a kernel. We don’t have a usable operating system to go with it besides Android.

Dunno, I'm pretty interested in HarmonyOS considering it's a major commercial OS that has come along in a long time, and features a number of technological differences such as a pure microkernel, compared to the existing big 3.

Despite that we (I) know next to nothing about it, neither on the user nor the technical side, so a bunch of deep dives would be welcome.

In my opinion, the only realistic change to the current mobile duopoly will be an OS coming from China. Especially, as Google has finally started taking steps to kill Android openness as we know it (reducing contributions to AOSP and disallowing side loading), HarmonyOs has a real chance to shake things up

So you are saying an OS from China will be on the path of openness and privacy as opposed to iOS and Android? I'd say that's a stretch or wishful thinking. I'd say Europe, if at least few major Govts push it and fund it. But no one knows of course.

> kill Android openness

Some initial versions of HarmonyOS was partially open source, the "NEXT" version isn't.

Is this the one that is still based on Android or is the new "next" version of Harmony?

torginus•1h ago

According to wikipedia, they moved to their own kernel in the 5.0 release last year:

Okay so it won't run Android apps necessarily or be able to access the regular app stores/Play Store. It will need popular apps to be re-released for HarmonyOS NEXT

Considering Huawei has hundreds of millions of users in China alone, I don't think getting big companies onboard will be difficult.

Which is kind of easy on their home turf, most relevant apps on the Chinese market are available.
