TEST 2

First of all, I consider myself to be a bit of a rookie when it comes to Linux, I have learned a lot, but have a lot to learn.

I had a great time messing around with Garuda today.

I know I might piss off some people and start a flame war, but I think there is a gap when it comes to phones, I quite like my iPhone (first iPhone after many android phones), but it is a bit flawed with just how locked down it is. My latest two Android phones pissed me off with poor optimization.

But I have to admit that I’m also missing the good old Symbian days and would like to make/or see a distro that mimics and behaves like Symbian, but with a modern Linux base and the ability to run Linux programs.

“Linux Phone” is something that has sparked my interest, I know that it is in its infancy, but I don’t know a lot about it really. I would like to learn more, including how to develop for it or Linux in general. I know I can probably use Android Studio with Kotlin Multiplatform, but is there any more “native” way to develop for Linux and what is the preferred programming language/which programming languages could/should be used?

I have heard that Python could be used for pretty much everything, I know that Swift most definitely wouldn’t work for Linux development, what about Qt (a language I have been wanting to learn to mess around with Symbian)? What about Java, should i bite my tongue and just learn Java?

And yes, I know that Android has “roots” or is “based on” Linux, but I highly doubt developing for Linux is anything like Android.

Apologies for the Stupid questions?
