#Qualcomm pledges 8 years of security updates for #Android kit using its chips" ... IF you're using an Android device that's running Android 15 or later on #Snapdragon Elite 8 hardware. And you're still dependent upon your device vendor to actually be arsed to supply you with the updates.

So in other words, nice try but you'll probably never see it.

The Android ecosystem continues to be driven by
#planned #obsolescence. The mobile industry COULD make OS support last a lot longer than it does. Linux manages it just fine, and Android is really just a highly customized Linux. The mobile industry just doesn't want to. They want to force you to buy a new device whenever your most important apps stop working.

Would love to see this thing being able to run and install Linux using a standard aarch64 ISO from Fedora, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux.
