I use Linux on desktop and I’ve been excitedly watching the various projects to bring FOSS Linux to mobile, but for me personally, it can’t be a daily driver yet. Hopefully by the time I’m done degoogling and severing other app dependencies mobile Linux devices will be more evolved and have a better cost/feature ratio more on par with mainstream devices.
I’m mostly disappointed because the way Ubuntu teased a phone that docks to become a PC hasn’t really come into full fruition yet. I’m not a Ubuntu user, but I do have a strong preference for working on a full sized screen. Being able to dock my phone to a display and get a non-phone UI means I could just carry a folding keyboard instead of a tablet.
If the EU sponsored an open source OS to reduce dependency on US tech, that could be a saving grace.

I’m considering a pixel tablet so I can put Graphene on it, but with the change in how google handles sources, I’m no longer sure.
That was my approach until about 3 weeks ago. I hope something good happens soon.
