I dont know, they had a large chin with the huge home button for the longest time, a waste of space. They now have the dynamic island, which also takes up space no matter how they dress it up. I prefer the punch hole, like the one on Pixel 5 which was out of the way.

Pixel A series is still a reasonably priced good phone with a great camera, no?
And make the crowd bigger. Good plan 👌

If you're planning to get the 3rd gen x1 yoga, don't. I had to disable thunderbolt ports in BIOS to get it to sleep correctly. Otherwise touch screen would not work after wake. And stylus doesn't work correctly with Wayland. It stops working after few seconds of use.
I use ThinkPad X1 yoga with Fedora 40 (Gnome)
- Enable fractional scaling and install Display scale switcher gnome extension - makes it easier to increase scaling when in tablet mode for easier touch input.
- logging in on a touchscreen can be a pain, in particular entering the password with on-screen keyboard. Special characters and numbers are not shown by default. On windows you have the option to use pin instead with a numeric keyboard. If you have a fingerprint reader compatible with linux that might work for login (mine doesn't).
- Linux is very terminal-oriented, but Gnome terminal is unusable on a tochscreen. never mind typing commands - try scrolling long outputs - you can't scroll with touchscreen, it will just start selecting text (i dont remember how this works in Windows)
- Google chrome supports gestures, so you can swipe left/right on the page to navigate back/forward. This does not with Firefox. Chrome also has a more touchscreen-friendly UI you can enable in chrome://flags/#top-chrome-touch-ui (Touch UI layout) although I haven't noticed a significant difference.
- while you're messing with google flags you may want to change Preferred Ozone platform to Wayland - this fixed blurry scaling for me
One annoying thing though is you can't scroll terminal on a touchscreen, it'll just start selecting text. Maybe there's a non default terminal with touch support.
To be fair, there were a lot fewer people then, so they didn't have to compete for resources as much, and you could get a nice cave for dirt cheap
Dash to panel seems to work fine. The only problem i had with gnome on two screens was when they had different scaling.
I'd like to try out ff but I'd have to use it for a few days. Is it possible to possible to sync passwords and bookmarks with my Google account like chrome? How's the touchscreen support?
Active suspension is software, just like Photoshop is. You need to pay subscription fee for Photoshop now, and BMW wants a subscription fee for their active suspension software too. Rent seeking and Enshittification.
