    Why? That has nothing to do with the topic we’re discussing. You can configure Linux as Android does it, or choose not to.

    (Secure Boot is what enables “Verified boot” - which is just Android’s name for a common sense secure boot loader implementation which is the norm in well protected IoT systems etc)

      2026 is year of Linux phone

      Linux sucks on phones for security

      Why?

      Linux security on phones is not equivalent due to these factors

      but Linux supports these things which are either not exact equivalents or would take an entire Dev team with full time funding to do

      Can you find me a phone & OS that meets those requirements

      Why? that has nothing to do with the topic of Linux security on phones?

      are you being serious with me right now? what about my question wasn’t “on topic”? If the hardware and software don’t exist, its not going to happen and you’re making a hypothetical argument to a factual statement.

        Linux does not suck on phones regarding security. Linux is what brings the security mechanisms faulty ascribed to as being “Android’s”. See previous posters claiming it was all “extensive modifications” by Android and not just Linux security mechanisms.

        Feel free to get a Fairphone 4, sign your Ubuntu Touch image with keys supported by the chipset and off you go. The fact that no one is selling you that has no relevance whatsoever to whether “Linux” supports it.
