2020-08-20 at 6:10 AM UTClinux is just the kernel, there's shitloads of google and other code (a lot of it closed source, specifically around the radio drivers) supporting it. there are a few 'privacy-centric' android builds but they're rather limited. I want to try out a cell device that runs debian/ubuntu but I'm not sure it's really a usable platform for an always-on mobile device

I just feel repulsed by any Microsoft shit on a Linux device. Not just any nasty corporate bloatware, but the most evil kind, preinstalled.
Also Ubuntu is garbage, it's literally marketed towards niggers in Africa. Back in the day people would laugh at you for using it. -

I honestly can't stand anything where shit doesn't load instantly, that's why I'd normally use a linux distro meant for speed.
Android is supposed to be based on Linux but nearly every Android phone comes with corporate bloatware
An OS with no apps is useless. -

it's also one of the few distros that can both be easily built for ARM and also has a decent multitouch driver/stack, or at least it was the last time I checked -

Flip phones are just fine and most aren't going to have a lot of apps.
Your statement is really vague. It seems you believe all the shitty low quality code these idiots are churning out these days in the form of 'apps' can do no wrong.
Most phones are using ARM processors, not really meant for having a lot of apps. I hope you're being sarcastic because some OS are specifically meant to be used with minimal GUI.
It's a phone for fucks sake. Trying to use it for anything other than mobile communication and photo/video is stupid. -
