>Just to add, because your rant is really not constructive and dismissive of a whole platform: android likely has more apps than desktop linux, plenty of them in better shape as well. Why on Earth would they be buggier, when they do in fact see more users?

What exactly is "in better shape" on Android? Why is there not a single file manager whose functionality even approaches that of say Caja or Dolphin, but which also doesn't have ads built-in? Why is multi-window some novel experimental afterthought when it's been done properly for DECADES now several times over?

>Android project back-ported countless battery optimizations to the kernel

I do wonder if just NOT making it a platform for spyware always running in the background (google services but also pretty much everything else, install Autostarts and see) would be more effecient...

>which would easily have 6-8+ hours of battery life on Android, yet it burns like fire in 2 hours with one gnu/linux-based mobile os.

Most reviews say quite the opposite, especially about screen off mode.
