Amen to Linux Phones. We need more choices!

I got so sick of these kind of shenanigans, I built a simple, non-mobile phone with a Raspberry Pi 3B+, a Raspberry Pi 7 inch touchscreen, and a Logitech headset. It runs off Wi-Fi or Ethernet only.

It does voice and SMS only, but it does what it does very well. I wrote all the software myself (Python3 and C).

I've been using this as my daily driver for over a year now.

I'm planning to make it available to the public soon. All of it will be open source, of course. My goal is an open source alternative to Apple/Google.

Can't wait to see this. Where should I look?

I'll post here on hacker news once I get a web site up and running. Look for a post from this user name (another_comment). I'll also post here in the comments of appropriate posts.

Thanks for the interest.
