+1000!

I think this is the crux of the current issue. Of course we are playing with nuances of terminology but I did a survey the other day that asked if I had a smartphone and I chose to answer NO. As per @amosbatto (blog here) I have decided that smartphone is the "app universe" of ios & Android and the thing I carry is a computer. If Linux on a phone progresses as rapidly as Linux on desktop then it is clear it is never going to join that party.

Fortunately.
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
