And if you were the one locking down what the phones could run, instead of the duopoly?

I'm days later responding, sorry. I should have suggested more clearly: what if a Linux-based solution gave you the administrative control meeting or exceeding what you currently expect from less open solutions? Would you pay for it?

  • Yes, but it doesn't. In Russian we have a saying:

    If, if only, in my mouth -- mushroom grew, well then it would not be a mouth, it would be a garden. (The point is to not engage in impossible hypotheticals)

    • That's a great phrase, and applicable here.

      I don't see why there can't be a well-funded effort to build a powerful MDM for Linux, but to my knowledge no one comes close. I'd think it would be very profitable.

I was the one maintaining my WRT54G and my Linux laptop. Took too much time. That is the point.
