> close to zero Linux programs that are actually usable on a small touch display

(And no, that does not list all of them. Only all I got around to adding.)

Fair enough, but how many of these are as polished as their Android counterparts? How many are still actively maintained and will be for the foreseeable future? Android already is "Linux for mobile devices" and has all the features people expect from a phone. Reinventing the wheel on the software side seems counterproductive when what we need is simply more hardware to run Android on. I wish Furi collaborated with Graphene or Lineage and released a proper FLOSS Android device instead of going the "desktop Linux" route.

AFAIK GrapheneOS is in the talks with a hardware company and we may end up with a GrapheneOS-first device!
