A small community project is building immutable Fedora images for tablets and phones.

The mobile Linux space is more active than most people realize. Projects like postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch, and KDE Plasma Mobile have been chipping away at the idea that your phone or tablet has to run something made by Google or Apple.

And while none of them are household names yet, they are picking up real interest from power users who want more control over their hardware. Of course, most people stick with Android or iOS, and that is fine.

Both platforms are mature, well-supported, and not going anywhere. But for the ones who want something genuinely open and free of platform lock-in, things are getting better.

    I desperately want to use mobile Linux on my phone, but I am legally blind, and so at an absolute minimum I require system magnification. Having both system magnification and a screen reader would be better, but at the absolute minimum I must have magnification before I can even consider the idea of going to a system like this. But I desperately want to, so please, somebody.
