    Honestly even though I’m fully invested in desktop/laptop Linux. I kinda don’t get the buzz for a fully Linux phone, When de-googled Android exists and is already optimized for phone/touch use.

    Only argument I have in favour of it is, it’s less dependant on Google.

    But outside of that I don’t get the hype for running desktop apps (that normally aren’t designed for small touchscreens) on a phone.

      You aren’t meant to use it on the small screen. We have increasingly powerful computers in our pockets that we use to watch TikTok, wouldn’t be nice if you didn’t have to buy a laptop/desktop for school/work and could just dock your phone and have a full desktop experience?

      You could already do that with a lot of use-cases, but we can’t yet fully utilize the power of our phones when docked.
