When they first started gaining traction, I thought that over time, as the hardware improved, we’d increasingly see devices that were essentially mini PCs, with all of the freedoms that come with it. That as hardware became more capable, PC and smartphone software stacks would converge.
I yearn for proper Linux phones. Plenty of gnome apps are already ready in terms of UX (try shrinking them down to a smartphone screen size, they’ll seamlessly switch to a smartphone UI, it’s pretty incredible). Maybe one day.
