on Halium/droidian/linux mobile

really need to write a blog post about this but summarising my thoughts for now:

* Droidian and other Halium based projects are not Linux mobile

* They shouldn't be carelessly compared with #postmarketOS/Mobian, they are much closer to Android in terms of tech stack/complexity/longevity

* Basically the WSL of #LinuxMobile

But, still good, still valuable for making your device more-free, and for the growing app ecosystem.

but i am slowly losing my mind every time i see someone describe a mediatek phone running a proprietary BSP as "real linux mobile" you are warping what little "brand recognition" this community has and it will reflect poorly on all of us when more light is shed on the underlying software stacks and long-term unmaintainable downstream hacks

@cas Still hoping you write that blog post about this stuff
