We need phones with standard Linux. Without strange "Java only mediator" or something. Just a normal OS.
Android is a pain in the ass.
I would love to have a phone that I could just plug into a USB C dock and use as a normal computer. They've got plenty of processing power for that now. Every single program I use except for games could run on a phone if it used normal GNU/Linux.
Samsung Dex already does this with Android.
Honestly love Dex, it's such a smooth transition
