If you value privacy and don't want everything you do tracked by Apple, Google, Android, etc., is it time to get a Linux Smartphone?

There are easier fights for Linux, Desktops and Laptops, but the lack of apps whooped Linux's ass. The phone arena will be an even bigger ass whopping.

With that said, if some black swan event related to technology happens then it might make security and privacy a primary factor when making technology purchase decisions and Linux could become the dominant OS for desktop, laptop, tablets, and phones.

Linux is the kernel.
Android uses the Linux kernel.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
