First time hearing about this, couldn't find any info about who is behind this or if it's a real project with a chance of success. I hope it is, carrying around an incredibly powerful computer in my pocket but not allowed to use it the way I want because google/apple says no sucks, we need this.

For now, it's a tiny Tunisian project. Looks like Dr Bdiri has published several papers on wireless and other tech for embedded systems.

Not to be confused with Holy C. Was searching desperately to see if it was somehow inspired by it somehow but couldn't find anything.

Fuck, yes. Yes, fuck. We absolutely need more efforts to remove existing duoculture in our mobile ecosystem. My options are ridiculous and recent events showed that the window where we can still do whatever we want on our phones are closing.

As I said before in another thread [0]
This is the way to go, what we need are
modular open standards for both hardware
and software.
Imagine a phone that you can just swap and mix components from different manufacturers. You could buy the components yourself and assemble, like a standard PC. If one manufacturer tries to lock you in, or you don't like their component you simply replace them with others from a different manufacturer.

While I very much want what you describe (and it's why I still hope Framework eventually gets into the phone game), the software is a far far bigger problem than the hardware (and this is from someone who is _extremely_ disappointed in current phone hardware). I'd take free and open software over hardware at this point. Obviously both is better, but the software has a far bigger impact on our lives than the hardware.

Sailfish os is there if you want to pay, and definitely steam os is going there, they work on both porting android apps to steam (lepton) and emulating X86 apps to ARM (fex)
