For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I’ve fixed my mistake.

    Probably true convergence between mobile and desktop, where your linux phone is powerful enough to be your only computing device. You would only need something like a lapdock (basically a laptop without the guts) and instead of a cable connecting the two, a slot maybe somewhere within the keyboard that your phone slips into. Maybe this exists already, I don’t know.

        I’ve been waiting yeeears for a Linux phone. Can’t wait until the day finally comes. Tried Ubuntu touch out on an old nexus 4, but it was slow due to old hardware, and I didn’t like the fact you couldn’t just run Linux apps, they had to be special built for Ubuntu touch (unless you did a container and vnc kind of thing). I’ve been eyeing postmarketOS but I’m a little confused if it supports VoLTE which I think is a requirement now on most USA towers.

        I think once the hardware support gets there with better battery life, ability to sleep and still get calls notifications, etc, the app ecosystem shouldn’t be a problem with waydroid as a backup

          I feel like we won’t get it for ARM devices but with Google/Android going in to support RISC-V I believe we’ll see more risc phones and more developers will happily hack away at a risc-v device.

      Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101

      That whole line of products was before it’s time, I really wanted one of the phone/tablet combos, but man were they expensive.

      This is what I’m most excited about. I started using gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6. It’s still not there yet but it feels better than phosh, Few more bugs tho. I’m so excited for it and what you mentioned is the future I dream about.

        How is hardware support these days on OnePlus 6? I’m close to buying one for Linux but keep waiting thinking that a newer alternative might appear.

          Not as good as I hoped. I’d wait. Wifi works, didn’t try putting a SIM in yet but the gryo doesn’t work so there’s no auto rotate and scaling is off. It’s either too big or too small. I don’t think the GPS works either but I’ll have to test it.

      It’s a cool idea and there are similar devices, but they never seem to catch on because most people would rather carry a laptop that’s still useful if something happens to their phone
