The problem is exactly like @olf nails it; usually having kernel sources is not the glitch but the proprietary modules is.
There are ways around it, one can write wrappers for the proprietary bits and hence get as recent kernel as one desires but it is quite tedious and creates a maintanance hell.
(but yes, doable if you desperately need a once-off solution)
If you decide to go that way, be prepared to write quite a lot of support code against glibc...

^ or a Windows phone 
Anyhow, a statement like that on a forum for a Linux-based phone OS is akin to what this guy is doing.

To paoletto's comment: Why they ever made linux because it clearly is off no use and value whatsoever? Just a piece of garbage - in those billions old and new machines. Why anyone uses linux?
I claim linux is not just a piece of garbage. If what linux is could be easily done other better way around I believe it already would have been done. It's strengths are in some cases weaknesses in light of user friendliness, but life should not be measured with "used time" as the highest value. The world is already spinning too fast and coming generations will reap a nasty crop (crap) which has not been tested with long term test cycle.

Maybe paoletto's comment is a result of what is in "Test device lock" thread. Understandable frustration and anger. If I try something and am willing to try to solve something and someone else becomes an obstacle without a valid or sufficient reason in my mind I become really annoyed. The will to crack and will to put and sacrife time and effort and then to be blocked by another agent or entity. Almost unbearable situation which is hard to tolerate and accept.

for another thing, my computer just SHOUTED THE N-WORD. please edit your comment and remove the link, or at least caption it as 'racist joke, nsfw'
p.s.: that is EXACTLY what paoletto was doing now delete that post please...

hey mates, it's 2021, and there's still no sane way to produce applications that would run on linux 2028. Not even AppImage guarantees that.
Windoze does that since the nineties.
The ******** jolla did with their update is unrelated. That shows only what piece of garbage Sailfish OS is, which, even though seems related to my linux comment, it really is not.
