This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I so wish Linux phones were actually a usable thing so that we could have functional pocket computers.
The attempts made so far weren't very convincing.

I mean, there is Sailfish OS. They do live on in a niche capacity, but it's very niche.

One of those alternative universe split points. What if Nokia had just put a damn modem in the n700/800/810 and invented the iPhone before the iPhone.......
