Author notes some of the shortcomings of Linux-as-a-smartphone-OS, but to say a year-old Reddit post is out of date is an understatement.

The biggest advantage of a relatively young ecosystem (6" touchscreen Linux) is just how rapidly things can progress - especially given how quickly older hadware can be brought up.

So while TFA isn't wrong (Mobile Linux is not for everyone), it's also not entirely fair to call it "completely unusable".

Yeah, it's always stunning to read that things you've been successfully daily driving for many years to much greater satisfaction than if you were using the alternatives are "completely unusable".
