Other people have mentioned the limitations of the hardware so I won’t bother rehashing it but I do think there is a lot of potential in a Linux distro for phones.
Right now Linux phones are incredibly niche but we have seen some improvements in software around the release of the PinePhone and the Pro model so I have hope that it will, eventually, work. SailfishOS is a paid OS and is a fairly limited but it does feel quite smooth to daily drive on supported devices. Simple frequent tasks (ex. Finding public transit routes to a coffee shop) do seem to take longer to complete on Linux phones but I am hoping that will be sorted in the next couple years.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s ever really going to work.
As similar as the hardware is, the reality is they’re different interface. One of the things that made windows 8 awful was trying to do both.
