Video game cameras peaked here:

Yeah. And if nobody’s done your specific model, you’re all the way out of luck.

Technically most things we call “Linux” aren’t even Linux, they’re distributions that use Linux as a base. Android forks their own Linux kernel and then shovels on a whole bunch of non-Linuxy stuff on top of it and then locks it all down so that you can’t make any changes.
So what people mean when they say they want a true Linux phone is that they want an OS on their phone that behaves more like most Linux distributions (where you are in control, and can even install a different kernel if you wanted).
As for the forking question, being downstream of Android means A) undoing everything they did it lock it down and B) constantly having to do that moving forward as they do everything they can to stymie you at every turn.

Not easily anyway. Probably if you could do it at a hardware level, but manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to even get the dang thing open, and every model and revision would require intense research just to prove it out.

Hope that all the tiny little people had the sense to get out of the way because I sure can’t see them from all the way up here

Obligatory Mandy Patinkin was making the opposite point than is suggested by the OP’s excerpt

What’s that quote, “peeing is a normal human thing but if you’re doing it 90 times in a day, it’s a problem”

In Dark Souls, gravity is tied to frame rate and frame rate is locked to 30fps. When it was released on PC, a very popular mod unlocked that frame rate to whatever you wanted it to be. They cleverly included a workaround (the backspace key) to re-lock it for the two spots in the game where gravity matters.

That is the exact plot to The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society C.M. Waggoner

I’d have upvoted a poorly-lit photo of some scribbles on a napkin

You won’t like Silksong then

About the same really

You have to configure it???

Yeah. Technically Castlevania is a Metroidalike.

Why does it look so much like an ice cream sandwich

Excuse me, MagusFungus actually wrote the book on Vanilla_PuddinFudge, and can be considered the authority on the subject.

Yeah, two seconds in: “no, you’re not supposed to do that, obviously it’ll break if you do that”
