What do you want to use it with? Ubuntu?
No, Ubuntu is not feasible at the moment, unfortunately their OS is not compatible with many phones and they do not have all the apps. Yes, I know you were ironic, btw.
FYI, I would like to use it with LineageOS or similar ROMs, without gapps, for a variety of reasons:
- Because I do not need most of Google apps and services;
- Because Google Play Services eats battery doing things I do not want to,;
- Because I like having more control of what is happening on my devices;
- There are also a privacy concern which is real, Rob Braxman on YouTube can tell you more about that.
Regarding my initial question (that you haven't replied), I suppose I will keep monitoring the XDA and 4pda forums and see how things will evolve.
