They’ve been saying “maybe it’s the year of the Linux desktop” for years, mobile Linux only reliably works on a handful of specific modern devices and some fairly old ones
I know that the year of the Linux desktop is a bit of a meme but that’s why I was referencing it. That said, the year of the Linux desktop has long come for me personally and only my desktop PC still has a Windows partition but I don’t know when I last booted into it. I won’t immediately ditch my Android phone, but I’m excited to test the viability of a Linux phone for me personally
Desktop Linux may not be mainstream, but it’s solid. Mobile Linux not so much. I bought the pinephone hoping it would be a first class citizen, but it’s fairly underwhelming, even after all this time. UBPorts has it listed as 68% supported, it and other OSes lack useful app ecosystems.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for it
