That's a weird way of writing IntelliJ
Java seems to be the culprit then.
It was a big mistake by Google to base the Android Framework entirely on Java. Pivoting to Kotlin because you've discovered that working in Java produces nothing but garbage does nothing to fix the situation either.
Can't wait for generic Linux phones to be a (more popular) thing so we won't have to deal with this clown world nonsense anymore.
What's stopping you from using a GNU-like Linux phone already?
Others in this thread have covered most of the points already, but it is mainly software support for certain key things I want to do using my phone, such as online banking.
I realise most of this is just anxiety about taking the plunge and seeing what it's like, so if I have money to burn I might just buy a second phone just to see if it's a viable option for me.
But yeah, I wish mobile Linux was popular enough for there to be support from key service providers. Though it might be a long shot since "desktop" Linux is still growing and we haven't yet seen the support shift.
